Egg Project Help--Thanks.

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for the hatching projects info--

 

I'm going to be talking with the teacher and head of the school soon, and I'll

let you know how it turns out.

 

At the open house last week, the teacher brought up the quail egg project in

front of all the other parents. When asked what happened to the chicks, the

teacher sheepishly said she didn't know. One other mother said we are all

" better off NOT knowing. " Then everyone kind of smirked, nodded, and laughed.

Argh.

I had a simliar response last night at my daughters 'Curriculum Night'

(8th Grade Open House). I asked the Scienec teacher if any animals were

going to be used, also in front of all the other parents. One person

snickered softly, but that was enough to put me on the defense! Anyway,

He said he wasn't sure and then went on to say that in 9th or 10th

grade, they dissect PIGS! My heart sank. In any case, my daughter will

NOT be dissecting ANY animals!
