Mum Shocked After Teacher Gives Her 13-Year-Old Son A Crystal Meth School Assignment

A mother was shocked after learning that her 13-year-old son was given a school assignment on how to make and inject crystal meth.

Mum Delight Greenidge, from Canada, says her blood pressure shot up when she learned that her son was told to perform in a skit in relation to the highly addictive and dangerous drug. She said that the assignment was set by a drama teacher at Erin Mills Middle School in Mississauga, Ontario.

Ms Greenidge also said that the teacher provided a hand out which she says included instructions on how to make and inject the drug. She said she found out about the assignment when her son asked her about how to use a tourniquet.

“I’m reading this thing and my eyes are just swelling as I’m reading it and I think my blood pressure went up by about 50 points because it is detailed, step-by-step, blueprint instructions on what you need to make crystal meth, how to prepare the crystal meth and then how to inject yourself with crystal meth,” she told the Toronto Star.

However, what irked her was her son’s role in the skit. “I think the worst part is that my son’s role in this play, skit whatever it is was to be the one injecting himself. So that’s the reason why he needed to know how to make a tourniquet,” she said.

Ms Greenidge also told the Toronto Star that the teacher asked her son to “act scared” when mixing the drug and “happy” while injecting it. “I popped a blood vessel. I was in a state of shock “¦ I’m thinking this cannot be real,” she told CBC.

A spokesperson for the school board, Carla Pereira said she couldn’t speak to the teacher’s rationale. “We share the parents’ concerns around that particular assignment.” she told CBC.

An emotional Ms Greenidge was left disappointed. “To think that all of what I’ve tried so hard to teach him “” good principles, good values, moral character “” the things that make you a man, a strong black man, and this is what an educator is giving to my child,” she said, through tears.
