[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What TS video was this?

Haha OP won’t answer because they know they overreacted. [/quote]

Yep. 4 pages worth of questions, asking for details, and comments. Nothing from OP. [/quote]

That’s incorrect. I’ve posted and you didn’t notice. Arguing with immature posters like you is not my goal here. Parents and school officials need to be aware of the poor judgment from certain teachers in charge of READING classes.

Reading teachers often use lyrics, and hearing the spoken words can be part of that.  Reading is thinking, by the way. You can't read if you can't think and comprehend. Learning about differing types of writing...hence reading material..is important.  Imagery, metaphors, figurative language etc., are often found in lyrics. [/quote]

Again, the concern here is not the lyrics. It’s the very shallow video that the teacher played during instruction time. There’s an array of enriching material that can be used for reading comprehension and higher thinking skills. Maybe the reading teacher needs more training. [/quote]

We don’t know what video it is, so it’s hard to understand why OP is triggered by the video. Just saying “two people kissed in a video” is not enough for most people to believe that this assignment was out of control. They won’t share the name of the song so we can not determine if OP is overreacting or if the video was sincerely inappropriate and that the teacher should be provided with training.
