[quote=Anonymous]These are SEVENTH graders. They know about death. If they don’t, you’ve been a lazy and stupid parent who hasn’t prepared them for the realities of life. And by the way, likely as an experienced middle school teacher, she knows that kids sometimes use tasteless humor. There is a sub-genre of “humor” literally known as “dead baby jokes.” Middle schoolers might also discuss pregnancy and abortion in thoughtless ways. Sharing this information with them might help them to gain empathy and maturity, at least to the point of never making thoughtless remarks in her presence. [/quote]
