Hip-hop has crossed over into the the education world many times over, with college courses being taught by and about prolific artists. However, a Florida teacher has been suspended after assigning Lil Wayne lyrics as homework for the eighth grade class at Charter Schools of Boynton Beach.
The students were reportedly having trouble understanding literary devices, and were instructed to read the uncensored version of Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot." They were asked to find examples of figurative language in the lyrics, but parents were upset with their kids reading the material.
Headmaster Wayne Owens released a statement to WBTV News Channel 5, revealing that the assignment wasn't approved, and the teacher used their own discretion to incorporate "colloquial material" into the lesson. He recognized that the material was "inappropriate," and suspended the teacher for three days.
