Teacher Suspended For Including Lil Wayne Lyrics In Homework Assignment

A South Florida eighth grade English teacher of The Charter
Schools of Boynton Beach has been suspended after assigning
Lil Wayne lyrics as part of a homework assignment to her students.

The assignment included directions to underline examples of
figurative language in Lil Wayne's Cory Gunz-assisted "6
Foot 7 Foot" lyrics.

The track by Lil Wayne includes some explicit lines:

Two bitches at the same time, synchronized swimmersGot the
girl twisted cause she open when you twist herNever met the
bitch, but I fuck her like I missed herLife is the bitch, and death is her sisterSleep is the cousin, what a fuckin' family picture The school headmaster, Wayne Owens said in a statement.

"The lesson was for students to learn to identify literary
devices,The teacher had already introduced Edgar Allen Poe
and Shakespeare.

Students were having difficulty grasping the concepts of
literary devices such as: pun, simile, metaphor, so the teacher used colloquial material. This material did not meet the school's standards and was not approved.

The teacher recognizes that it was totally inappropriate for a
school assignment."

The teacher, who had "an unblemished record" has been
suspended for three days, according
to WPTV.
