London: A teacher in
France has been suspended after asking a class of teenagers to
write suicide notes.
The man, who has not been named, is a French teacher at the
Antoine-Delafont school in Montmoreau-Saint-Cybard, near Angouleme,
France, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
He told the 13- to 14-year-olds to imagine what they would say to
themselves if they were about to end their lives out of "disgust"
for their lives.
The assignment, set in October, read: "You've just turned 18.
You've decided to end your life. Your decision is definitive.
"In a final surge you decide to put in words the reason behind
your decision. In the style of a self-portrait, you describe the
disgust you have for yourself. Your text will retrace certain
events in your life at the origin of these feelings."
Jean-Marie Renault, the school head, confirmed that the teacher
had now been "officially notified" of his suspension, following
complaints from parents, the Mail added.
