The family of an 8th grader at Sulphur Springs Middle School is furious that their child was given a ‘ghetto award’. He was given the ‘Huh’ Award for saying the word so much in confusion during class.
Here are the details via NY Daily News:
The so-called “8th Annual Ghetto Classroom Awards” certificate was signed by two teachers — Mrs. Garner and Mr. Couch — and bears the initials of the school’s principal.
But the principal’s signature was forged, and he was not aware of the awards, according to Sulphur Springs Superintendent Michael Lamb, who told KLTV he was “shocked” at the certificates.
“The “huh?” award just begs questions. And then the 8th annual brings questions, too,” he said. “It’s my understanding the same award was given last year to up to 60 kids.”
These teachers need to be immediately fired. Their ‘ghetto awards’ sounded like a way to really discourage these kids. If this is indeed the 8th annual ‘ghetto awards’, how did the principal let this happen without knowing every year?
