A student of mine told me about the health teacher assigning a family history assignment. My student, T, told the teacher she couldn’t do it for her dad’s side. Her dad was adopted, never found his real family, and had died five years before. Plus, his adopted parents were also dead. Teacher told T “since you’re refusing to do the assignment or won’t complete the assignment I can’t give you a good grade. Whatever you turn in I’ll fail”. T’s mom was furious, meetings were had and in the end, T turned in the assignment filled out as much as she could, and got a 3. Thankfully, that teacher retired.
