this is a couple days old, sorry if it's already been posted

2018-09-15 22:33:15 UTC  

well then

2018-09-15 22:38:50 UTC  

look on the bright side: she didn't rape anybody. i count that as a win.

2018-09-15 22:44:12 UTC  

why are there "morality" quizzes to start with?

2018-09-15 23:07:49 UTC  

it looks like it's a quiz to judge where exactly your morality is

2018-09-15 23:08:01 UTC  

similar to a political test

2018-09-15 23:10:59 UTC  

it's a valid question as to why it was part of a grade 10 curriculum.

2018-09-15 23:11:54 UTC  

but this isn't something that really deserves a forced resignation or even a news article.

2018-09-15 23:12:26 UTC  

i mean these kids have probably sat through lectures about ass sex

2018-09-15 23:12:33 UTC  

it being part of an english class is certainly an eyebrow raiser

2018-09-15 23:12:34 UTC  

they aren't delicate flowers.

2018-09-15 23:13:09 UTC  

but i think a test like this would be good in certain subjects

2018-09-15 23:13:35 UTC  

i think people saw "school teacher" + "morality quiz" and REEEE'd

2018-09-15 23:25:31 UTC  

Why is a school curious about my morality? Different religions have different moral codes, different cultures have different moral codes. So what would the school be teaching that this is relevant too?

2018-09-15 23:27:33 UTC  

it definitely doesn't belong in an english class

2018-09-15 23:27:58 UTC  

but i could see it being a perfectly acceptable part of a political science class or something

2018-09-15 23:37:03 UTC  

Because you need to think like the teachers think

2018-09-15 23:37:22 UTC  

so they know which kids they need to assign extra brainwashing to

2018-09-15 23:37:56 UTC  

if it's being graded as if there are right and wrong answers or right and wrong final results, then i'm 1000% down for this teacher being unable to teach ever again

2018-09-15 23:38:05 UTC  

but the article doesn't say anything like that

2018-09-15 23:40:15 UTC  

Id just mark everything as middle and turn it in

2018-09-15 23:43:18 UTC  

i think a test like this is a good way to show that there is nuance and the world isn't black and white

2018-09-15 23:43:38 UTC  

if it's just presented as it is

2018-09-15 23:43:54 UTC  

again, if it's graded, that's a huge problem

2018-09-15 23:46:35 UTC  

unless it was graded based on shit like, refused to participate, skipped every question, etc

2018-09-15 23:46:48 UTC  

with max points just being "actually sat and thought about the questions"

2018-09-15 23:47:20 UTC  

considering that getting the students to think about the questions is the only acceptable goal that this test could have

The halloween 'razorblade in apples'/'poisoned candy' story is just an urban legend, but in Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-16/contaminated-strawberries-in-punnet-bought-in-adelaide-hills/10253528

2018-09-16 18:23:54 UTC  

```This latest incident comes after several reports of strawberries contaminated by pins and needles up and down the east coast of Australia.
Before this case in South Australia, six brands of strawberries — Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis brands, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious — had been affected.
```

2018-09-16 18:32:31 UTC  

heard about that from Bearing

2018-09-16 18:32:39 UTC  

's wife Suggartits

2018-09-16 18:40:16 UTC  

This is even worse than the memory hole.

2018-09-16 18:40:32 UTC  

The paper is not just _gone_, it's _stealthily replaced_.

2018-09-16 18:43:41 UTC  

If you want to see the really bad sign, imagine what happens if this becomes the norm in a decade or so.

2018-09-16 19:11:49 UTC  

yeah I just read that too

2018-09-16 19:11:56 UTC  

fucking terrible

2018-09-16 19:12:18 UTC  

she has a public statement pretty much just saying "nup"

2018-09-16 19:13:01 UTC  

hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease that will let her realize she is slowly being trapped in her body and suffers from endless pain...... if its true.
