One of the questions asked, "If Frederick got two beatings each day, how many beatings did he get in one week?" Officials say one teacher wrote the questions and the rest of the third-grade teachers used the handout for their classes.
The Gwinnett Daily Post reports that Beaver Ridge Principal Jose DeJesus said he understood parents' concerns.
He said third-graders had been reading about Frederick Douglass, a former slave. He said the questions were an attempt at incorporating some of what students had been discussing in social studies with their math.
