Florida Parents Object to Homework Assignment for a Photo of 2nd Grader Doing Homework in the Bathtub
crimeonline.com | Sept 23 2022 | KC WildmoonA second-grader at a Florida Christian academy was “administratively withdrawn” from the school after her parents questioned a homework assignment that requested “a picture of you doing reading homework in the bathtub.”
The student’s mother, Misty Dunham, promptly sent a message to her daughter’s teacher at Victory Christian Academy in Jacksonville.
“I emailed the teacher ‘Hey, you may want to explain that. Send something out to the parents. Let them know what the intentions are.’ This just does not sound OK,” Dunham told WJAX. “She did send out a message saying, ‘You should be in pajamas, be in your uniform, have fun with it.’ But, it didn’t sit right.”
It didn’t sit right, so Dunham filed a report with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The report, obtained by WJAX, said school administrators told the Dunhams, “We have been sending this homework assignment for years, and you’re the only one complaining about it.”
Dunham said a school administrator later called.
“(He said) ‘I think you guys should do a parental withdrawal for the child.’ I said, ‘I can’t. I can’t do that. We refuse to withdraw her,’” she said. “He said, ‘OK thank you for saying that,’ and continued on saying that, ‘Well, we’re going to proceed with an administration withdraw.’”
And just like that, the Dunhams’ daughter is no longer enrolled at Victory Christian Academy, a ministry of Victory Baptist Church. The parents told WJAX they got no explanation.
Jesse Latta, the pastor of Victory Baptist Church and president of the school, told WJAX in a statement that the assignment “was taken out of an online teacher resource and has been used in many schools.”
“When a parent contacted our teacher with a complaint, our teacher immediately sent out correspondence to all parents in the class to assure them that there were no bad intentions with this assignment and to clarify the guidelines,” Latta wrote. “No additional concerns were presented to the teacher.
“While the assignment was completely innocent, out of an abundance of caution and for there to be no misunderstandings, our administration has removed this particular assignment for any future use. We value our children and their safety is our top priority. We will continue to serve the children and families in which the Lord has graciously allowed us to have a part in their lives.”
Latta did not explain the “administrative withdrawal” of the student.
So kiddie pr0n is okay now?
Just asking.
For some perverts.
Ban all bath tubs and I will see all of you at the rally by Home Depot.
I just had a thought:
Submit your homework with an opening screen that says:
“Warning!! The following photo shows an underage student in a bathtub in the nude. Click here to view.”
Then, attach a photo of anything else.
If your teacher says you didn’t complete the assignment, ask them how they knew.
And I thought that “Goofus and Gallant” was intrusive of my privacy.
Glad to see they’re still teaching Archimedes in school…
Eupeeka!
U Rita!
Dear Misty,
You are overreacting. We have been sending this assignment for decades. In fact, about 30 years ago, President Brandon took a number of bathtub pictures of one of our first students named Ashley, and her brother Hunter still keeps leaving laptops here.
Pastor Jesse
You parents out there STOP PAYING ATTENTION, to children’s assignments. What is your problem, don’t you have other things to do? How dare you suggest that an assignment for your child to do their homework in the bathtub (where they take baths, without their clothes every night) would be inappropriate in any way. The clarification of course really helped because it told parents WHY this assignment was soooooooooooooo important to the development of the child. Good to know that parents PAYING for extra educational experiences for their kids, get the same fine teaching as in the public school arena.
Now Missy and Johnny..remember that if your teacher says you have to stay after class..activate the wire like I showed you..press the red button and say out loud clearly…”DEMOCRAT.”.and Mom and Dad will be there right away..
