A teacher in Cleveland, Ohio, will continue teaching even after he gave a lesson that was at best in bad taste and at worst wildly inappropriate.
WJW reported that it was contacted by an upset father who has two 14-year-old children at Middleburg Heights Junior High School.
Daniel Rapp, a math teacher at the school, had students solve a word problem that read "Tony can send 5 texts and 3 nudes in 19 minutes. He could also send 3 texts and 1 nude in 9 minutes. How long would it take him to send one text and one nude?"
Superintendent Michael Sheppard told WJW that the district "addressed the teacher and kind of clarified exactly what happened, and in this case provided what (administrators) thought was the appropriate consequence, which was clarification that that was inappropriate." He also said that Rapp was issued a written reprimand but noted that "he’s a good teacher and in this case just used the inappropriate word."
