[QUOTE="KloudKicker, post: 115809, member: 21294"] An aggrivating turn of events... But I'm far more grateful to have been incorrect on this one: I was appalled to receive a copy of kloudkicker's posting. I had received some calls on the matter last Thursday & Friday while I was out of town. I attempted to return one, and left a message. I have not received a return call. I did call Stefan in England (on my home phone). This afternoon, I e-mailed the accurate facts to kloudkicker. First, the students were NOT given an assignment to write about "how dirtbikes and ATV's are a major contributor to Connecticut's pollution problems". The assignment WAS" to write about President Bush's energy plan and what they want him to do about it, or to write how cars which fail emmissions tests could be improved. Not even close to what was described as the assignment. In addition, the girl's father did not meet with the teacher; therefore, she did not state "that it was not her problem". Likewise, obviously, she did not leave the room. Also, you should note that no one, to my knowledge, talked to the Board of Education, and the Board of Educaton, since it did not discuss the matter did not "overrule" the teacher. Also, I have not received any communication from the Board of Education or my superintendent on this matter. I cannot state whether the sudent is, or is not "listed as failing" If she is, it certainly would not be because she "stood up for herself, her rights", etc. As I indicated to Stefan, the administration of the school (myself or my successor) would certainly be willing to discuss the matter with the girls' parents at any time. Our students are provided with excellent writing skills, as our English teachers give them the skills which they need to do well on the state's standardized tests and the skills which they need to succeed in college. Our students are admitted to excellent universities. Frequently they are given the assignment of writing a persuasive essay. They are NEVER told from which opinon they are to write. As I entioned to Stefan, they may be given an assignment to write such an essay about the manatee being endangered. They may chose to take the opinion that it should be protected. They are also free to take the opposite position. Either way, the essay must be properly written and their statement must be documented with a required number of three sources. As for the member who replied to Stefan by stating that, in effect, I was covering my behind. For what purpose, since i have nothing to gain or lose from entering into this situation, as I am leaving Coventry H.S. in two days. My purpose, is to correct facts which have been seriously misrepresented. James Conro, Principal Coventry High School [/QUOTE]
