The school followed with the standard cookie cutter statement that never fully explains the situation.COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (CBS Charlotte) – A parent is upset after she said her daughter’s teacher did not accept her rough draft of her paper.
The students had to write about their hero and Heather Watts’ daughter said Jesus was her hero.
Watts’ daughter, Ryleigh, is a second-grader at Cerro Gordo Elementary School.
According to WECT-TV, Watts said her daughter’s teacher asked Ryleigh, “Can’t you write about something different?”
“I think she should have freedom to write what she wants to write about,” Watts told WECT.
Public schools take another L“After speaking with both the teacher and the principal, we have learned that students were not restricted from writing on any topic of their choosing. Columbus County School encourages student expression in all aspects of our educational program. We also have an open-door policy, and encourage our parents and guardians to contact or visit their child’s school to address any concerns.”
