    I wouldn’t call that a good try considering what’s Heart’s father is like.

    This sort of assignment is fraught with danger, for the reason illustrated here. Kids shouldn’t be asked to do assignments which might lead to shaming them in front of other kids based on social status. At our school we had a well-meaning 4th grade teacher ask kids to do a presentation on the history of their surnames which was extremely unpleasant for some of the kids who learned it was originally the name of the plantation owner who enslaved their ancestors. I still remember one girl crying in front of the class. Even at that age I knew the teacher did wrong.

    Now-now, Heart. Your dad does have a job. He’s a full-time deadbeat.

    This is something teachers would not have had to deal with a generation ago. However, it does require some thought and I like the person who suggested using the phrase “any adult” and say that the student is free to write about the teacher if they choose. Much kinder!
