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 |

1) God, Billy is being an arrogant asshole in this thread.
2) I dont care if the teacher was full time or a substitute. If they showed my 8th grader that movie, I would want them fired. If they cant make rational decisions AND follow the conduct rules then there is absolutely no place for them in the public school system |

Does anyone's opinion in this thread really matter? Only if someone around here has a child, then I think their opinion would matter on this subject, but since no one does, it doesn't matter ![]() I suppose a teacher's opinion might matter, too, but I don't think we have any of those around here either. Seven more months until my opinion matters! -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

I would go to el paso and beat his teacher to a pulp if she showed him that movie....mostly cuz im on the edge with her as it is. That would just push me over the edge
