QUOTE (Renegadepeon @ May 15 2007, 02:35 PM)  I think it isn't the end of the world if it happened. I wouldn't want the teacher fired over it. However, I think these things should be uncommon (as they currently are). I didn't ask you if it was the end of the world, or if a teacher should be fired over it, I asked if you were fine with showing rated R movies to 8th graders. It's a pretty simple question. |

The obvious solution is to get rid of the fucking TAKS test. Biggest waste of time ever designed. Replace it with End-of-Unit exams for each subject to be taken in place of semester exams. Kind of like how the departmental finals are done here at Tech. Allow teachers to make copies of the student's answers for personal grading, then after they have mailed off the answer sheets and provide proof of shipping, send answer keys electronically so they can grade for their final exam grades.
Yeah, if this movie was shown in those circumstances, then it obviously wasn't for educational purposes, but now I blame the state education system instead of the teacher for requiring that free time to even exist. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

QUOTE (jonathan83 @ May 15 2007, 02:34 PM) 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?

I watched BASEketball in a history class before... so what?
Not every single class day is educational ... i know in every class we at least took ONE day off during the year. Should they be fired?... only if there was a stated policy against rated R and .... "political" movies. Everyone bitches now a days about everything, calm down, the children won't have different lives because of a single movie shown in a class. Maybe Gore's movie intrests them into looking into the health of our earth ... OMG WHATS SHOULD WE DOO THE KID IS DAMAGED FOR LIFE! -------------------- |

Obviously, comparing a giant cock (porn) to Al Gore's movie (politics) is just ignorant. That being said, I'm sure you could find a way to do it indirectly. We got to see the cock and balls of Joe Camel's face when I was in high school *shrug* -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

It's a pretty simple question. Hey, it's not a 'yes' or 'no' answer. That's like asking "hey if someone bumped into you at the subway, would you be fine with it?" No, I'm not fine with it. But I really don't care if it happens. Is that simple enough for you? English is somewhat limited at times. Because you can ask two questions: Are you fine with random murder? Are you fine with strangers accidentally touching you? To both of those I answer 'no'. But obviously the 'no' to the first question has a much sharper degree then the 'no' the second. And that is why I explain my answer. So no, I am not fine with them showing R rated movies in an 8th grade class. However, if it happens, that's ok, as long as it happens rarely. --------------------  QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM) |
