A Maryland middle school English teacher has been forced to apologize after setting a language exercise in which students had to use their knowledge of advanced grammatical constructions to colorfully detail how they would murder her.

The Washington Post obtained a copy of the teacher’s missive to the parents following her gaffe, which took place in November but has not been made public until now.

“I gave the students in four of my English classes an assignment to practice their use of grammar concepts we had recently studied. I asked the students to write a story in they used at least three gerunds, three infinitives, and three participles to describe how they would kill me,” wrote Patricia Lorenzen of Kingsview Middle School.

“I was trying to create an assignment that would be an engaging way to review some grammar concepts, but it was not appropriate and should not have happened.”

As a result of the fallout, the students were given full credit for the assignment, whether or not they completed it, and Lorenzen continues to be on the payroll with Montgomery County Public Schools.

Lorenzen has refused to speak to the media, but her principal James D’Andrea said “the matter has settled down since that time,” and that there have been “no further issues regarding [Lorenzen’s] assignments.”

As custom-made, “immersive" exercises have gradually muscled out staid grammar books, such faux pas have become increasingly common in the US educational system.
