If I ever have children – and don’t ask if I intend to, because I’m not telling – I hope that my kid is as cool as the one that submitted this homework assignment:

I’d like to give this kid’s parents a high five. Well done, child raisers. I hope that your son got an A+ on this one. (In case you’re wondering, I would have also accepted crossing out the photo of the man hitting the dog and replacing it with a drawing of a tailor measuring a dog for a miniature tuxedo. Either way, score one for the independent thinkers out there.)
Also, the person who wrote these questions in the first place has some serious issues, aside from the whole hitting thing. I wonder if some kid read this assignment and was inspired to put his baby brother in a pot. (That’s on you, mysterious workbook author. I hope you can live with yourself.)

I know right? I saw that and I was like, WTF teacher? Are you kidding me? And then I was like, way to go parents. Way to like, parent your kid. And then I had a cookie because, frankly, it felt like a time to celebrate.

Well done indeed.

That is some weird assignment but funny how it must have been very important to the child to write that in about hitting a dog!

I think the choice of words to fill in was supposed to be easy…hence, one word was ridiculous or inappropriate to the extreme. I remember doing things like this, and laughing about how stupid the choices were. Stille, I wouldn’t have included the hit the dog one…err on the side of the correct animal protocol, people! Shows how much aware we all have to become. STILL!

Agreed – probably best to leave that page unused!
This kid better have gotten an A+++++!!! Smart kid.

I’ve seen this before and forgot all about it until I just saw it now. Thanks for this smile. I love that something so simple can absolutely make my day. It just takes one and then it spreads 🙂

This workbook seems to have been written decades ago, when animals were seen as less than members of the family. 🙁

Decades ago is right – I would never put my baby on a cot; he’d roll off. Stop the abuse!
Very true.
Unfortunately, there was a time when smacking a dog with a rolled up newspaper (like the man on the worksheet) was the common thing to do when a person perceived their dog to be misbehaving, and this worksheet perpetuated that idea to children. Well, except this kid. S/he wasn’t having any part of it. 🙂

True. I remember people doing that when I was a kid. Seemed normal then… ugh.
Kids truly say some wonderful things. That’s the sorta thing that gives you hope for the world–thanks for sharing it 🙂
