[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 463533, member: 1233"] This level of insensitivity goes beyond what is even mildly acceptable and it is time to take what you have written, go and see the principal, and ask to have the teacher come discuss this with the both of you. I know this is the era where it isn't such a big deal to have a kid while you are a teen, etc... but even that is not accepted in every group. The information that this jerk wants Eeyore to write about and share with the class is NOT something that every family is comfortable discussing with their children, much less having their children discuss with the community. Heck, even my own parents, who were open wiht me about almost anything I thought to ask, would NOT want me to broadcast this info to the world n general (yes, telling a group of kids is broadcasting this to the world in general, in my opinion) This s a highly inappropriate assignment. A LOT of kids are going to get teased because their family has a different way of doing things than someone else thinks is normal. A LOT of that infomration is HIGHLY sensitive. It is also protected by YOUR privacy rights and your child's privacy rights. In order to complete the assignment, your child must either violate your HIPAA and other privacy rights as well as his own, OR he has to lie. NO child in that class should complete the assignment. There are just way too many things that are too sensitive for sharing with the world. Heck, even sharing that he was adopted and didn't know that stuff (if he didn't) would make him feel like a freak or outsider - and you can be dang sure that kids WILL use those names if Eeyore or any other child is a target for any type of bullying. I am pretty open with a lot of things, but there is a LOT of info asked for in that report that I would not talk about with anyone but immediate family. Who does this person is to think he has the right to even ASK for a written report on YOUR private medical and personal information, much less your child's?? The entire class should get a 100 on this and not hand it in or give the report. How is it going to make the kids who are adopted, or dumped on a relative, feel when they learn the lovey dovey stories from other kids and hear the horrors that they went through while in utero? What gives this man the right to scar children this way, or force those who love them to lie about it to the children? Yes, 16 is old enough for SOME to know about their birth, etc... but it is NOT something that you spread all over the world. [/QUOTE]
