I'm lazy, but that has nothing to do with me being an American.

I am not lazy, I am just efficient.
I agree, children of that age beleive what their teacher tell them , and form their sense of values , right ,wrong, negative or possitive,Originally Posted by SwampWitch
It was a derogatory joke, aimed at an audience who would not get the joke, and who would end up taking what she said at face value. I'll bet every nine-year old in the class took what their teacher said as a fact.
Imagine any teacher telling a classroom of students:
First Nations people are lazy because _____.
Females are lazy because _____.
Jesus and his followers were lazy because _____.
Writers are lazy because _____.
Jewish people are lazy because _____.
French Canadians are lazy because _____.
I find it offensive for a teacher to negatively stereotype groups of people to her students.
