High school teacher hands students obscene material for English homework
SAPPORO -- A teacher at a prefectural high school here gave students reference material containing obscene expressions for their English homework for summer vacation, it emerged Friday.
The teacher in his 40s, whose name was not immediately disclosed, was unaware of the obscene wording. "The teacher did not notice that it contained inappropriate expressions. We are extremely sorry," the vice principal said.
On Tuesday, the day before summer vacation began, the teacher at Hokkaido Prefectural Sapporo Okadama High School assigned English conversation homework to first-year students for their summer vacation on how men and women get acquainted with each other. He attached a photocopy of part of a book on English conversation to the homework as reference material.
The parents of one of the students later pointed out that the reference material contained obscene expressions such as "favorite sexual positions."
The school sent another reference book to students by mail with a letter of apology from the principal.
