Posted by Steve on 10/11/08 Ask yourself, what is your instructional goal in showing this kind of gratuitous violence to children? What is it you want your students to actually learn? How is showing this kind of stuff helping them learn and understand whatever it is you are purporting to teach them? Anyone of sound mind who is older than about 6 already knows that war is hell, that war creates untimely and painful death to large numbers of innocent people, and that war, and the cruelty that inevitably springs from it, are nothing more than an unfettered celebration of mankind's evil and bestial nature. If I were a student in your class, I would simply walk out of your so called 'lesson' and go sit in the principal's office until next period. If the principal's secretary then directed me to go back to class, I would refuse to comply until I spoke personally with the principal, at which time I would unload on him/her, after which he/she would come in later on and unload on you. Then I would not show up for school the next day.
