Wolves are Extremely Important to the Environment and Need to be Tolerated

[CedarPants]

This was the report my son was assigned today at school.

While we are very tolerant parents open to discussing issues, we have none the less scheduled a meeting with the principal to discuss the intent of this "education"

Have your kid write a report on why a wolf pack is bad for elk and a menace to society!

This sounds like it may have been done intentionally. I would be having it out with teacher and principal. 

[rtspring]

Just speechless!!!

[snowpack]

[deaner]

[Ductsquatch]

Maybe I am new..........but I don't get it......

Have him instead write a report stating how the wolves we have now are not the wolves we used to have and that the wolves we have now are actually destroying the wildlife that conservationist have struggled for 100 years to bring back from the brink of extinction. His research in trying to prove that wolves are important to the environment actually turned up that wolves are a menace and need to be heavily controlled.

Sounds like a good opportunity to detail why they should be tolerated in remote regions of Alaska and Canada, and point out the facts on why they are difficult to tolerate at best in our populated state.  Perhaps educate the educator.  Talk with the principle?  Taking it way out of proportion.  You can't force only the messages you want your kids to hear.  Have them hear all sides and if you are on the relevant and educated side and if they are rational they will side with you.

Perhaps educate the educator. 

+1, go in there with facts.

Nah ..I would have him write a report on how he likes to hunt and can not wait to one of the 1st ones in line to buy a tag

Let the kid right what he wants.  I know it sucks but it really isnt gonna get you or your kid anywhere trying to "win" this fight with the stupid tree huggin teacher.  I would explain to your child the facts and then help him right the best report he can without stirring the pot to much.  Think about how your child perceives the actions you take against the teacher and school.  The teacher is probably looking for a reason to start trouble.

So your solution is to just cower down and bend over and take it. I don't think so. This is not education it is pushing ones agenda and that is not what WE pay teachers for?

The problem with that is its difficult writting to appease a point of view in which your inherent view is completely opposite. It would be like you trying to write a knowledgeable essay from a PETA point of view, I would imagine very difficult.
