HAARLEM, NETHERLANDS, October 22, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Update2day.net - Agnieszka Wojtowicz, living in Trondheim Norway was shocked by the homework her children brought from School. At the school "Breidablikk" in Trondheim first year kind (6-7 year old), the kids were given drawings that symbolised letters in the Alphabet. These drawing contained sexually explicit content. A sign of moral decline or just ignorance?

Agnieszka Wojtowicz contacted Norwegian media as the content of these drawings had explicit sexual character. For example this drawing was to Illustrate the letter "E" for Elephant.

On 15/10/2014 this gained huge publicity in Norway. The newspaper VG dedicated a entire page. On 20/10/2014 this gained national publicity in Poland, home-country of Agnieszka Wojtowicz.

Apparently several other parents have also reacted to this with shock, and some parents refused the kids to do the homework.

However, according to the Minister of Education Torbjorn Roe Isaksen is a storm in a teacup: - "Maybe it's just us, the adults, most react negatively to the sight of this picture, because we think differently than children" - Isaksen said, although he admitted that the task is not fit for school children at this age. Also praised the parents for bringing attention to such unusual homework.

The headmaster at the School, Grethe Naalsund confirmed that the homework was sent with all first year kids. And they have sent an email to all parents to apologize.
"At first glance it looks like the innocent drawing. But teachers think this was really embarrassing. And that's it. We just have to lie flat. Those jobs that have worked for many years and had many first class. They just have not seen it that way, says Naalsund."

Naalsund guarantees the selection of drawings will be better supervised from now on.

"We will not do this again, to speak. The teachers have been given a proper lesson. We had never sent the drawing if we had seen it in the way you do. They have not seen it that way at all. These are skilled teachers, who I trust completely. So I really hope no one has been harmed by this, says says Naalsund."
