In my son's multimedia class - during the time for finals - they watched 2 hours of this movie, Star Wars Ep. 3. Teacher claimed to be a friend of George Lucas. He said it wasn't illegal, pirated, or downloaded. The menu on the dvd was not multimedia. Anyhow, what would you do? Nothing? Something? What kind of values are they teaching anyway. Never mind, don't answer the last question. :)
That, I agree with.
As long as children get their education like reading and math and history what's wrong with an election like TV Production?
Big deal. Get over it.
"Apollo 13 is depressing. Leave it to Hollywood to make a movie about failure."
Apollo 13 was the geeks' triumphant moment. They fixed problems that they'd never anticipated, and brought the astronauts home safely. That's a win in my book.
It could easily be a "review copy" of the movie that was given to the teacher (if indeed the teacher is friends with Lucas).
That's what I thought. But why would an English speaking film have English subtitles?
But they don't
If every hour of the day is used throughout highschool, they can barely manage to take enough math, science, history and languages to be a competent human.
If they waste their time taking trash courses like this, they may graduate, but they are still too ignorant to pound sand.

Sure they are... there is federal education requirement testing at several grade levels.
The MPAA probably pays a bounty. Do you consider it an adequate use of school time? Any justification for not seeing it in a theater where it can be seen the way it was intended?
He was probably trying to seem "cool" in front of his students. Students need adults who will do the right thing rather than trying to be their "cool" friend.
For the deaf?
