SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. After a sixth-grade virtual assignment at Patrick Marsh Middle School put the Sun Prairie School District under scrutiny, it left many unanswered questions, but one in particular: How did this lesson plan get approved?
News 3 Now reached out to multiple district staff members throughout the day seeking answers, but the district didn’t respond to any of our messages.
One parent, who’s daughter was a part of the history class that received this assignment, sent the PowerPoint questions to News 3 Now. Students were asked to answer how they would punish someone guilty of robbery, how they would punish a wife who left her husband after arguing with him all day and how they would punish a slave who tells his master “You are not my master.” The lesson was part of an assignment teaching about Hammurabi’s Code.
