     Is there really no better literary text or other more exemplar writings that can be used to uplift their students rather then a middling story of adultery?

     Update: It has been pointed out that the tweet mistakenly said “8^th Graders” while the writing on the assignment said “8 year olds.” The mistake was part of the original quoted tweet.
