I would have been furious if I had been one of the parents of these kids. I'm 27 years old, and I've chose not to view the video. Not because I don't want to be aware of whats going on, but because I know that even as an adult, I couldn't handle it. It could scar those poor kids for life. What was that teacher thinking?  |

When I first read your posts I mistook 4th period as 4th grade. Oops! Well its still an awful thing, even though they were seniors. I need to go to bed! |

I completly agree with you Snookums..I would also like to know what in the world that teacher was thinking..that is something that will stay with those students for ever...I couldnt handle it myself either if I were to see it. ~~~Humming Bird  |

He had NO right showing them that video. He should be suspended if not fired.  |

I would have been so upset if one of mine was shown this footage...whether they be seniors or not, who in their right mind would want to view this anyway, I hope he is fired...hugs  |

I also hope this teacher is fired!!! I wonder what sick thought had to go through his mind to show these students that? Thanks for your replies Folks...I just wanted to hear that people felt the same way I did. Ive heard alot of ppl saying that it wasnt that big of a deal which I think is tragic! ~~~Humming Bird |

I feel that a notice or some kind of survey should have been mailed to the parents, not sent home with the kids, and get input as to how they would want it handled. In today's technologies, there is the option to save the footage, for the provision of the parents opinions of the survey. That should have been a parental right to know first. I feel the teacher was out of line and did not get the proper confirmation to show the students. I would also think it would have affects on some of the students for a long while.  |

I don't need to view such a horrible thing and I would not want any of my grown children to see such a thing, unless they themselves choose to view such a thing, which they choose not to. That video does not belong in a class room and neither does that video itself prove that there are atrocities occurring on both sides, so his reason is shallow. If he would have shown them the Iraqi POW's being abused, then that would have been more in line with the message which he claimed he wanted to get across to the students. As for firing the teacher..I believe that he should perhaps be suspended for a time, but not fired for his bad judgment. If every teacher was fired because of some bad judgment they have made in the classroom, then I believe that many of them would be without a job. Also, Since the students were seniors they could have refused to view the video. IF the teacher would have insisted that they view it, then I could see a real reason to fire him.  |

I would have been hopping mad too if my kid saw this without my knowledge. I saw the video myself and it was much too much for a kid to handle, even if they are in highschool.  |

My drama teacher offered to anyone who wanted to see it, to come up and see it. I was one of them but no one was forced into anything and no one who didn't want to see it didn't have to, and they didn't. -  |

I agree with you. He's an english teacher. He should teach english.  |

I agree. It wasn't part of the curriculum and he had no right to expose them to such a graphic video.  |

A teacher here in Washington also showed the video to some kids in class. I think that's very wrong! It's bad enough knowing about it, but to see it...  |

I don't think its so bad. The students didn't HAVE to look, course he didn't HAVE to show it. But its whats happening now and everyone should know it. Showing the video to students might have been wrong, but I don't see it as that big of deal.  |

Also, they were seniors, they were around the age of 18, they could look at it if they wanted whether their parents knew about it or not. |

Slightly agree with MysticGurl on this...sure, not a great idea for the teacher to be showing that video - but did the teacher hold their heads towards the laptop screen *given that laptop screens are rather small and not like huge viewing screens in classrooms* and forceably keep their eyes open?? I doubt it. Also...did the teacher just start rolling the footage from the first cut...or was it the whole video? If so theres a ton of time leading up to the actual beheading that any student could have walked away and elected NOT to watch it. Sorry...I do agree this is poor judgement on behalf of the teacher...but lets also not completely remove a lil thing could Personal Responsibility either. Peace,  |

I can understand how the teacher wanted the kids to know that this kind of stuff goes on, yet he had no right to show it to them. I'm 15 and I could barely handle it, seeing the video had me in tears and I can't believe a teacher would actually show it to students. I think it was right for him to be suspended...if he wanted them to know about it he should have just told them and they could have had a discussion instead of showing this terrible video.  |

surely the reaons one should not wish to see the video would be due to respect for the victim as opposed to being too squeamish?  |

I agree Dark Phoenix..for one it should have definatley not have been shown due to the graphic nature of this video but also out of respect for the victim and his family! ~~~Humming Bird P.S. Thanks to all you who replied! |
