A couple of recent happenings spurred this topic. Curious what you guys think.
#1- http://www.khou.com/news/local/galveston/s...y.6f97d768.html A teacher in a Clear Creek ISD high school showed Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to her class. I heard this on the radio and one of the parents had called in, she said it was explained to her that the relevance of the movie to the ALGEBRA class it was shown in was the "charts & graphs" depicted in the movie. Pretty friggin pathetic if you ask me. There's no excuse for this kind of crap, and nothing to gain by it. #2- http://www.kentucky.com/476/story/68870.html A substitute teacher showed Brokeback Mountain to an 8th grade class. QUOTE The substitute asked a student to shut the classroom door at the West Side school, saying: "What happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class," according to the lawsuit. All I got to say is.. WTF |

As far as Al Gore's movie... umm, even if there WERE bars and graphs, wtf does that have to do with algebra? i doubt the movie used any algebraic graphs.

It satisfies the Algebra 1 TEKS 111.32.b.A.1 Foundations for functions. The student understands that a function represents a dependence of one quantity on another and can be described in a variety of ways. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
