I wonder how the full "lesson plan" went on this one... JACKSON, Miss. -- The father of a Chastain Middle School sixth-grader said he wants a teacher fired following a survey students completed that found his daughter was likely to get pregnant before graduating high school. Curtis Lyons said that when his daughter came home from school Monday she told him what had happened. "She was humiliated," Lyons said. "She's an honor student."

What about self fulfilling prophesy? That's just crazy. I could understand if it were a lesson where the children were randomly picked in accordance to statistics in order to teach the danger... but based on a survey?

Well without knowing all of the facts, I would have to say maybe there is a reason why everyone thinks she's going to be pregnant. A slut is a slut even if they're honor students. | ||

Penn she is in 6th grade. I can't imagine how active a slut she could be in 6th grade. I would be mad as h3ll if my child was put through this.

I'm sorry. I wasn't speaking specifically about her, I just sayiing that as a generalization. However, you would be surprised at how fast kids start having sex these days. | ||

One of my friends lost his virginity in 5th grade and has been active since then...and he's in 10th grade now. OTHERWISE, I believe the survey was extremely pointless, stupid, ineffective, and terribly thought out.
