No, but mental trauma caused when someone who is supposed to be protecting you brings your 12 year old but into the middle of a firing range IS. Joe, the only person here who is utterly clueless about how to raise children is YOU, buddy, and in case you haven't noticed, this is an opinion shared unanimously by everyone here with the exception of you. |

1) The first time I had the wind knocked out of me. 2) being at the bottom of a pile of 5 or 6 kids piling on top of each other. 3) I was looking at a snake once and a neighbor threw a stick at me and scared the heck out of me. 4) I fell into a pool before I could swim and it took 30 sec or so for an adult to save me. 5) Couple of bad minibike wipeouts. 6) My first real whippin'... I'm probably forgetting a few. Life is pretty scary, at least for active boys... |

>Gee, one has to wonder if you would feel the same way about someone showing a movie to your daughter glorifying statuatory rape
Do schools not study Romeo and Juliet anymore? Juliet's 13, how old is Paris, 20? Antigone? That one's got it all: incest, rape, murder, suicide >or if we can add hypocrite to the list of adjectives used to describe what a piece of **** you are. You truly have a talent for taking the straw man/false dichotomy to heights previously unheard of my mere mortals. The truth is I wouldn't consider a teacher showing my 12 year old daughter any mainstream commercial movie to be a serious enough offense to warrant any sort of serious punishment. Can it be inappropriate? Definitely. Was it in this case? Almost certainly. Is it a serious problem that warrants serious consequences for those involved? Of course not. A movie that depicts gay people isn't going to "make your kid gay" any more than reading about Leopold and Loeb is going to make him a serial killer. |

There is a character named "Paris" in both. The Paris in R+J is the prince (or some other royal) that 13-year old Juliet's mom tries to pimp her daughter to.

Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and milk are good for you. Live a balanced life -learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch our for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. (Robert Fulghum) I know it's idealistic, but could they have planned a fieldtrip that included sticking together and being aware of wonder? I cringe at calling these "teachers" peers. Stupid is the only word that fits.

There's a BIG difference between you "thinking" you are going to die and an adult in charge of your safety telling you that you are going to die. Suppose someone you put in charge of maintaining your health, say your Doctor, tells you that YOU are going to die. Not so funny anymore, huh? In fact, I'd bet you sue his ass off and try to have his medical license revoked....while you are clearly implying the exact same scenario shouldn't affect a CHILD at all. |

Rhertz, I can't beleve you are even trying to defend Joe and his statements. There is nothing even remotely funny about what these teachers did and in now way can you justify it.

Yeah, my "this was inappropriate but isn't a big deal and didn't really cause any damage" stance is pretty out there. |
