ok, so i picked up the phone this morning and called ms. johnson about my concerns re: world studies. i told her that i was, of course, concerned about her bias toward christianity, but assumed that she had already spoken to ms bennett about this issue. i told her that i was equally concerned about ms. bennett lack of knowledge on the subject she is teaching, and the concerns that i have about the text books that aren't being used. ms johnson told me that ms bennett believes the text to be above the heads of the class.........and thus she plans to use them only as reference. ms johnson already knew that stephan had corrected ms bennet on the king tut pyramid thing (king tut has no pyramid......) and that she had apologized to the class that she was wrong. of course she has not apologized for the business of noah being the father of all mankind, or the shell fossils on top of mt ararat as proof of the great flood, nor for asking for a show of hands on who was christian. she may be enthusiastic to teach this class, and the may be the only person available to teach it, but she is clearly in over her head with all but the most basic of students.......
