Public School Hell
Vermont high school teacher Bret Chenkin gave his students a quiz.
The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences. One of the questions on the quiz:
"I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes."
"Coherent" was the right answer.
But teacher Bret Chenkin said his quizzes are being taken out of context. While he admits he isn't as conservative as some other teachers, he insists that he doesn't inflict his political views on his students.
Really?
"It is frightening the way the extreme Right has (balled, arrogated) aspects of the (U.S.) Constitution and warped them for their own agenda.""The governor (of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger,) should have been (excoriated, coherent) by the press for calling Democrats 'girlie-men' but instead was invited to speak at the Republican convention; it only goes to show what kind of people they are."...
I asked the principal "why does this man still have his job?" I won't hold my breath for an answer. What do you expect from a man who would name his daughter Maple Grey?

I know Mr. Chenkin. Hes at MAUHS, our school. Yeah it was wrong he did this, but-- its really not that big of a deal. People make mistakes. This one was big, but not so for everybody to make him feel bad. Our school is suppose to be "The MAU Partiots" and sarcasticly i say, "Thanks Mr. Chenkin for putting us on the map of being ant-patriotic" Yeah, its kinda upsetting to all of us. But we all need to chill. Good thing he didnt lose his job caz he has a family- wife and children, and if he lost his job no one else would of hired him caz of his rep. So be nice. Pwez
