Minnesota fourth-graders told to hide ‘equity survey’ questions from parents

Lol, yes, children often get things wrong. It’s often amusing and embarrassing to either or both teacher and parents some of the things I’ve heard grade school kids repeating what they thought was said.

Yeppers. If it was a high school student, that would be different.

A Sartell-St. Stephen School District student is speaking out after the school required grade-school children to take an equity survey.

Some students didn’t understand some of the surveys questions, but were told by a teacher they couldn’t repeat the survey questions to their parents, according to a video uploaded by Alphanews.

The survey asked questions that some students didn’t understand. Even after hearing an explanation from their teacher, some still couldn't comprehend the survey questions.

But a teacher told the students they couldn’t ask their parents for help, according to student Haylee Yasgar.

“My teacher said that I could not skip any questions even when I didn’t understand them. One question asked us what gender we identify with. I was very confused along with a lot of other classmates,” Yasgar said during Monday night’s meeting.

She said students were told they could not “repeat any of the questions to our parents.”

The school district hasn’t yet responded to a request for comment. It’s unclear what value a survey holds if respondents don’t understand the questions.

“Being asked to hide this from my mom made me very uncomfortable, like I was doing something wrong,” she told the school board.

This sounds like some kind of "She said- They said " contest.

One student says that a teacher told her she couldn't discuss the survey question with her parents?

And then, the school district has not responded yet? And obviously no other student is backing up her story either.

Something wrong here.

It sounds like the author of this story- does not even have a story to tell here yet-

No facts- just a grade school student who makes a claim, and an author who may have some political points to try and score before any facts are established in the matter!

WEAK MISLEADING JOURNALISM AT BEST!

But try again!

So, it was supposedly a grade school, K-6, so just how good of a source is “according to student Haylee Yasgar” who for all we know could be a First Grader?

What are you afraid now of, grade school age opinions?

I never told my children- "I don't care to hear your opinions- on any subject"!

I always wanted to know the opinions of my children- no matter the subject!

And they were certainly always free to express them!

Amen, and at times it could be thought provoking or amusing, but I was the same, always interested.
