Another bad school assignment (1 Viewer)

Yea that one didn’t sit well with me either @Joe OKC. Guido and I talked about that situation in another thread, can’t remember which one.
Having said that, two professions that I don’t envy at all these days, Police Officers and Teachers. Both very underpaid and under appreciated. And both under major scrutiny, certainly some of which is well deserved.

Teachers at least need to put some thought into what they do. I mean some of the stuff I see is just a case of really? While in that instance I can see the basic idea behind no good choice and trying to argue a point, I mean come on. How did this individual not think it was going to blow up into a mess?

Wasn't this pole already posted in the EE a few days ago?

And the assignment should have included "A brilliant doctor/engineer/leader, but who is a Falcon's Fan".

see THIS is what philosophy classes should concern themselves with - actual dilemmas - not the Ship of Theseus and other blather

couldn't the teacher have done a similar exercise just using professions?

Doctors or Security?

Carpenters or Farmers?

Teachers or Mechanics?

I remember doing something similar in college level intro to communications class, except it was a hostage situation and the hostage takers allowed you to pick certain people that they would let go. I don't think they mentioned race though,

I’ve jokingly asked my kids who they’d save in a bad situation, out of their mother and I.

Dads lose. ? At least this one did.

This is just a poorly designed morality thought experiment exercise.

I used to do one called Alligator River. It wasn’t as bad as this one though.

THE ALLIGATOR RIVER STORY


Instructions: Please read the following story. After reading the story, rank the five characters in the story in the space provided below it, beginning with the one you consider as most offensive, and ending with the one you consider as least objectionable. Also, briefly note your reasons as to why you ranked them in that order.



There lived a woman named Abigail who was in love with a man named Gregory. Gregory lived on the shore of a river. Abigail lived on the opposite shore of the same river. The river that separated the two lovers was teeming with dangerous alligators. Abigail wanted to cross the river to be with Gregory. Unfortunately, the bridge had been washed out by a heavy flood the previous week. So she went to ask Sinbad, a riverboat captain, to take her across. He said he would be glad to if she would consent to go to bed with him prior to the voyage. She promptly refused and went to a friend named Ivan to explain her plight. Ivan did not want to get involved at all in the situation. Abigail felt her only alternative was to accept Sinbad’s terms. Sinbad fulfilled his promise to Abigail and delivered her into the arms of Gregory.

When Abigail told Gregory about her amorous escapade in order to cross the river, Gregory cast her aside with disdain. Heartsick and rejected, Abigail turned to Slug with her tale of woe. Slug, feeling compassion for Abigail, sought out Gregory and beat him brutally. Abigail was overjoyed at the sight of Gregory getting his due. As the sun set on the horizon, people heard Abigail laughing at Gregory.

Sounds like a good pole for the EE
