I am a junior high teacher, and regularly use videos and movies to teach a particular topic. If the movie happens to have a rating higher than PG, and is still relevent to the topic, we must send home permission slips. Showing Brokeback Mountain and The Graduate, in my opinion, is ridiculous. What educational lesson is being taught with those movies that another, less adult, movie could not be substituted?
Movies and videos can be an important and useful tool to bring topics to life, but not if abused. And not if adult movies are shown without permission to students.
