I would be so concerned I would call the school and have the child called out from class by an administrator to check and make sure everything is okay. I tend to be on the hyper-vigilant side since I specialize in working with high risk kids but the randomness of such a text would cause even my husband, Mr. Go with the Flow, to worry. He probably would hop in his car and drive to the school to see the kid. I am not being facetious. I think our primary worries would be a hostage situation or a kidnapping or some other extreme event. Either one of us would probably send back a response following our protocol and see what happened then. At the very least it would clue in our kid that I/we thought the worst was occurring and I/we either wanted the safe word or the not-safe word in the next message. Pronto.

If the teacher made the whole class do it, why would he be in trouble? Your post makes no sense.
I think she's asking if you'd worry that you DS was in trouble if you received such a text. Like, she didn't like the assignment, because she got "I love you" (or whatever) during school hours and freaked out.
