Carol Martuscello-Howard commented on listening exercises in The Classroom. These used the Eminem-Rihanna song "Love the Way You Lie" and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."

"Why would u suggest such garbage for an ESL class? 'love the way u lie' and parts of 'teenage dream' are completely inappropriate. I've taught esl for 9 years and know for certain this would bother some. Songs like this make me embarrassed of what American culture has become."
