    Re: Devil's Arithmetic movie - Appropriate?

    If you have to ask, then it's not appropriate.

    I wouldn't appreciate you deciding to show a movie with
    implied nudity to my 6th grader. That is for the parent to
    decide.

    Unless you're teaching 'Intro to Film/Theater/Literature' to
    6th graders, it's really not appropriate.
