There's nothing really wrong with this, it has legitimate purposes and it was a psychology class. Plus it's not like it was an elementary or middle school where it would be completely inappropriate, it was given out to teenagers, not kids. A test like this would have been allowed without question at my high school.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Some parents at Dwyer High say a teacher went way too far when he gave some of his psychology students a sex quiz Monday, a quiz that's filled with sexual innuendos and crude, sexually-charged language.

When CBS12 called teacher Frank Rozanski for comment, he hung up.

TOO RACY?: See the quiz and judge for yourself

The quiz, labeled a "sexual tension quiz" and apparently intended to be humorous, was given to about 25 students ages 16 to 18 in Rozanski's advanced placement psychology class. The quiz is widely distributed on the internet and something you might have found in your e-mail in-box or on Facebook.

But some parents say the questions are so sexually-inappropriate that its mind boggling that a teacher would even put them on a quiz in the first place.

The principal at Dwyer says Rozanski gave the quiz because his psychology class was studying social norms and how social situations make people think a certain way. The teacher has been "disciplined," according to school officials, but they won't say how. He will not be fired.

Some parents find the whole thing hard to believe. "It's just sexual innuendo questions, kind of questions and I don't like that at all," one parent said.

I just read the quiz. Even knowing that the actual answers wouldn't be what the questions were alluding to, I don't see how this is even close to being appropriate.

No, it's not appropriate at all. I would be offended to see that in a college-level class. That is not acadamia. And there are a million other, more appropriate and applicable ways for a teacher to explore "social norms" with students than garbage like that. If the teacher is not fired, someone should at least smack him upside the head for being an utter moron.

Not even remotely appropriate. I was thinking that it might have to do with psychology until I looked at the quiz. The teacher should be fired. I would not want my daughter in this man's class.

How was it not appropriate? Sex is a huge part of life. And an even bigger part of life when you're in high school. Sex is on the mind of most post-pubescent boys/men almost 24/7. It's important to study their reactions, and their answers to such a quiz.

well, jeez, in that case, why not show them porn in class and gauge their reaction?

I'm far from a prude (heck, I thought it was amusing), but that quiz was completely inappropriate for a high school class. it doesn't matter if it's popular on the internet or even if the kids may have posted it themselves on FB (newsflash, teens get into a lot of stuff online that's inappropriate, including porn), the teacher was in the wrong for distributing it in class.

save the racy sexual stuff for college when the students are adults. in high school, the basics should be focused on. and I'm sure the teacher could have found a more appropriate example for a psych class

That was so offensive that I didn't even finish reading it. If I were in his class, I would refuse to do it and let him call my parents.
