And I know some adults who wouldn't be able to deal with this either - if this happened to adults in a workplace, you'd be looking at a HR nightmare.
I'm disappointed not one of the teachers had enough reservations to stop it from happening.

This sounds like an adult game a la cards against humanity, not something you do to a bunch of middle schoolers. Theh clearly did not think that through at all.
That's kind of a leap. Teachers could have easily done that on their own.
these are the kinds of jokes you might expect a teacher to make behind a kid's back, you don't actually give them a certificate for it, morons
what is wrong with these people
like, who was this supposed to be funny to, other than the teachers? did they think even for a second about how the kids or their parents would take this?

She's one of those people who thinks all this "political correctness" is getting out of control, huh?

Texas. Again.
- stay classy.

This isn't a fireable offense, even if they weren't tenured. They are still dumbasses that deserve a suspension and dressing down.

When i graduated grade 8, my friend and I were tasked with coming up with mock jobs for people when they got older. So we did the usual jobs and such but a couple were just mean. The one girl had a visible mustache when she started to hit puberty and we said "most likely to work at Gilette", another we couldnt think of anything so we just said "most likely to end up on wellfare" not knowing her mom was on it at the time.
Luckily my teacher was smart enough to review everything before it was finalized, and called us in after class. To his credit he wasn't mad or yelling but the talk we had made us realize how hurtful something like that could be even if the intention was to be funny. He ended up coming up with jobs himself and they all went over great, but i still think about that sometimes (in my 30's now) and feel awful that I almost hurt people for no reason.
Mind boggling that a teacher could think this was ok at all.

I hope she never teaches again. She's suppose to be a role model to all kids.
i know that they are humans just like everyone else but i always thought if i was to be a teacher then i would make damn well sure i would be a good influence and try to steer children towards becoming fully realized and better adults, like be the best i can possibly be and attempt to be kind and fun in a way that didnt make anyone feel marginalized
i mean nobodys perfect but come the fuck on, lady

Last week my 7th grade son told me that during lunch the vice principal in his school asked a kid who is confined to a wheelchair to go sit on the bench while the VP got into his wheelchair. Still sitting in the wheelchair, the VP told a special needs kid to race him while the kids watched. Some kids laughed, some were appalled.
I tried to wrap my head around this and thought maybe my son wasn't reading it right. But he was like, "Dad, the kids were laughing AT the special needs kid, not with him"
I've had meetings with this vice principal and he is a massive egotistical asshole and we ended up yelling at each other for other shit he's pulled. We are already pulling my kid out of the school, so I'm not surprised that he did this.

I dont know what goes through some people's minds sometime. How is it at all, in any way, a good idea to hand this sort of thing to a kid? Holy shit.

Yep.
And with all things these days, one must consider "how would this play out if it went viral?". And always assume when in public, you are being filmed.

"No dark sarcasm in the classroom" except for Texas, obviously.
Of course I bet most Republicans are okay with this, "hey, life's hard, if they can't take this how can they expect to get on in life", "it's just a joke, grow a spine" - hateful bunch of ideologically driven regressive turds.

Teachers: "The joke is that you're brown. Get it?!"
How drunk were the teachers when they came up with this idea?
...what's the answer meant to be? I can think of dozens. Or is this only pieced together from a few different sources with some shopping?
This seems to be very bad taste.
Oh it gets worse?
Reminds me of my teacher when I was in elementary school. I won a christmas ham on our christmas celebration raffle. I was a chubby kid, so when announcing my name to the audience that consisted every student and their parents "well this surely went to the right person!"

Well, it is texas...

The answer was FLAG.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Flag.
Some people think being a mean, ignorant asshole is funny. Really stupid people.
Their immediate response to criticism was probably... "What's the matter? Can't you take a joke?"
Yeah, "most likely to end up homeless" and "most likely to throw a fit over something tiny" are just personal slams.

That is some mortifying shit. Was there any attempt by the teacher to backpedal that comment or were they just totally clueless?
OMG that is HILARIOUS! you should totally do it!

None of those awards are witty or funny. They're just mean spirited.
