Homework question

Forgive my poor grammar I am writing it the way it appeared on my son's worksheet

[i]Would you say you belong to a white-collar family, or a blue-collar family?[/i]

I'm offended by this question, and I don't want him to do the assignment but he's 12 and he doesn't want to not do the assignment in fear I am going to get him in trouble.

Too bad, if I rip it up how big of a b**** on a scale of 1-10 does that make me, oh and if your kid is doing a homework assignment you don't agree with would you rip it up?

Have him say he comes from a mixed collar family and he feels the question is biased and prejudicial.

It would fit the circumstances pretty well.

Great idea.

I personally don't care if someone thinks I'm white collar versus blue collar. I've been both in my lifetime. I'm not sure why a teacher would ask that though.

I have no clue why it was on his paper. I just don't feel comfortable with it, to me it is a way to signal out and divide.

Sometimes you have to do stuff you don't want to do, that's part of life

I will honestly and openly admit I detest common core.

I would just tell his teacher you don't want him to do the assignment if you don't like it.
Wow I can totally understand why you found that offensive.

Yes, I knew you would be able to. :)

education system is currently a disaster.
What race is blue?
hami1091 · 41-45, F
I'm guessing the smurf race. 😕

You are not a b****
hami1091 · 41-45, F
Thanks, Shawn I try not to be.

I am offended by the question- I'd attach a note to it, saying you request a conversation with his teacher. But let him do it. Remember my story about the Hun... don't make your son feel trapped between authority figures.
