Teacher penalizes students for saying "bless you"

Well he's going to stop this "Dark Age" habit one child at a time.

... Even if he has to kill 'em to do it

I bet everytime somebody sneezes in his class now they are stifled (yet audible) laughs instead of a "God Bless You". Much less distracting.

The teacher did add he stopped the practice of reducing grade points under pressure but that he would find another way to take away points. Arrogant jerk.

It is times like these that students should pick up the ball and show how this fellow is a fool and an idiot.

I would have suggested that the class/ school have a mass sneeze and God Bless you moment - scheduled for various periods of the day.

I go from experience on this from my school days - We were a rebellious bunch in my family

Girls had to wear skirts to school, Grades 10-12 in winter - So my cousin wore a kilt - He was suspended but the point was made.

"I don't care if you got all A's on your tests and quizes and passed in all your homework. You said "God Bless You" in my class and now you're getting a C!"

I would have suggested that the class/ school have a mass sneeze and God Bless you moment - scheduled for various periods of the day.

When I read this article online that was suggested by someone who commented on the story.

I think it's a brilliant idea.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Northern California teacher says he doesn't want to hear a common courtesy in his classroom.

He's even lowering students' grades if they say "bless you" after someone sneezes.
Steve Cuckovich says the practice is disrespectful and disruptive. He's banned saying "bless you" in his high school health class in Vacaville.
He even knocked 25 points from one student's grade for saying the phrase in class.
Cuckovich says the policy has nothing to do with religion, but says the phrase is just a outdated practice and disrupts class time.
"When you sneezed in the old days, they thought you were dispelling evil spirits out of your body," Cuckovich said. "So they were saying, 'god bless you' for getting rid of evil spirits. But today, I said what you're doing doesn't really make any sense anymore."
After parents complained about students losing points for saying "bless you", Cuckovich says he decided to stop the practice.
However, the teacher says he will just find another way to discipline students for saying "bless you" in class.

Another social engineering douchebag.

What a jackass!:roll:

If he had given my child a deduction in grades for saying 'Bless you' to another student, he had damned well better be giving them back.
