We watched Shrek at least 4 different times in my 9th grade English class and it was because there was this kid named Aiden who was so into Shrek that every time we had a substitute he would start off class by saying "Mrs. Jones told us we were going to watch Shrek today, I brought it from home" (he always had a copy of the Shrek DVD in his backpack)

redshirt posted:I got to watch the Challenger explode in school, totally rad. Rest of the day off.   It may have just been coincidental timing, but within the same week we did one of those things where you write your name and address on a card and attach it to a helium balloon and let it go, and see who gets a response from the furthest place. Also somehow I must've watched Pure Country at least twenty times in 8th grade

Valko posted:One of my classmates had an older sister who went on a weekend long field trip with their biology teacher. They all decided to go to the cinema one night. The biology teacher was a devout christian, possibly one of those born again types. The film they went to see was Trainspotting. The biology teacher was traumatised and wouldn't shut up about it the rest of the weekend. How well did Biology Teacher teach evolution in class?

I was in my 4th year of teaching when this came out. So, no. And, no, I did not show it to my students. I teach 7th and 8th grade.

Right now we are looking at the history of science (Something I teach that is not part of the curriculum, but I feel is important to understand if you want to know how we got where we are today.) Next, we will be studying the Geology of Mars.

Kids was practically a parody of the After School Special by being so over the top but it doesn't surprise me it would be shown health class in an unironic way, I remember my health teacher in 9th grade not showing but recommending Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream

It feels quaint that the moral panic back then was kids doing drugs, having unsafe (and non-consensual) sex, engaging in violence, being homophobic. Like, even if the film was extremely exaggerated, we can probably agree we don’t want young teenagers doing these things, and in the case of violence, hate and non-consensual sex, we don’t want anyone doing these things. Now the moral panic is what… fear that kids will think deeply about and perhaps question their gender identity?

We watched some early 80s/late 70s after school special crap with feathered hair people about a guy ruining his life by knocking a girl up. Corny as poo poo, but “glove up stupid, don’t ruin your life” as a guiding philosophy has now worked for two generations.

I remember watching the film Shattered Glass a million times in HS and reading The Lottery at least five times (and no other Shirley Jackson, which is a shame). I was 10 when 9/11 happened and my teacher was a Vietnam vet who DID NOT sugarcoat a single thing about what happened (or anything - ever). Once he learned of something, he told us pretty much afterwards. We spent the school day just talking and kind of processing what we learned as we learned of it as a class, which in 2023 seems downright progressive. Now as an adult, I couldn’t imagine being a teacher that day having to inform a room of approx 25 ten year olds of literally 9/11 happening and managing to keep it all together. We don’t pay teachers enough.

We were fresh out of high school in 95, but we did watch Kids while drinking 40s and smoking weed, hooting and hollering as they showed Washington Square where we bought weed. Can’t imagine watching it in school what the gently caress

my great-great-aunt sang "My Little Rooster," which is the weird folk song in Gummo. based on the rest of the family, i'm pretty sure Gummo would have confused the gently caress out of her and Kids would have been terribly disappointing

redshirt posted:I'm imagining Walter from The Big Lebowski laying out 100 years of Middle East history. We had a LOT of Vietnam stories that year and some I still faintly remember. Nothing super gruesome but I learned about Agent Orange real quick. He was also pretty to the point about shittier aspects of modern American history, he taught us about the Klan, internment camps, the effects of the nuclear bombs on Japan, and probably more if I ask some of my friends. Fifth grade teacher, and in hindsight, if one angry right wing nut caught wind of that in tyool 2k23 he’d be fired, probably into the sun. We were his last class before he retired and then 9/11 his last year of teaching, so maybe it was a “what the gently caress are they going to do” type thing. He was/still is also a fisherman and came in with a bluefish and flounder he caught the weekend prior, and dissected it in class, two kids fainted. He used the cleavers he joked about keeping in the back room for bad students. After the fish dissection, he fried it all up and we had it for lunch and it ruled. He read us Harrison Bergeron, and for that I remain ever grateful. One of the best teachers I’ve ever had.

3 kids died the year before I got to high school in a crash, and they kept that vehicle by the front door for a year. Seemed terrifying and macabre as a freshman.

driving like a complete idiot is one of the few things parents should actually be worried about teens (and young adults) doing and that they actually do and is actually dangerous. definitely the #1 cause of death among my high school classmates until i hit middle age
