STUDENT REACTION TO TEACHER FIRINGS [SHOWED BERG VIDEO IN SCHOOL]
Pamela Harris, 17, did watch.
"It was a teaching matter," she said. "I mean, we're in war, and that's what happens, and he was showing us."
"I don't think they should get fired or anything else. It's history. It's part of life that's going on now," Pamela's mother, Vickie, said.
Student Kristy Vanderwalt didn't think the video was a problem.
"I don't think it's a problem at all that kids saw it. I think that we're all old enough to realize, and if you are sick to the stomach or you don't think that you can handle it, then you are almost an adult and you should be able to say, 'No, I don't want to watch it.' And if you watch it, then you have to deal with the consequences," Vanderwalt said.

Another perceptive input here Indie. I am one of the 'shocked' parents that really reacted about the teachers showing it in school. I saw the video. I have the video. I still can't close my eyes at night without... ::shivers:: ....
I HONESTLY didn't see the other side of it until a former Marine called into a radio talk show where they were discussing what the teachers did.
His point was 'you can enlist to fight for this country at 16, 17 and 18. The kids need to see what they are fighting'.
Well, ok. I didn't think of it that way. But I'm still not too sure about the school showing that clip. I think the schools did it for sensationalism. If they have been covering the events accurately up until now, well then fine. They showed it in sequence. If they showed it for the hype...They I totally oppose it.
Did they show the Daniel Pearl clip? No. So why now?
