Most students would rather watch Spartan 300 or some other movie instead of the documentaries with the monotone sounding narrator. Well it just so happens that teachers can show Disney, and PG-13 movies in school.
Mr. Waclawski said that teachers can show Disney, and PG-13 movies as long as, 1. It has something to do with the curriculum that they are teaching, and 2. The teachers have to send a permission slip home for students’ parents to sign to watch PG-13 movies.
The rule is in place, “Mainly for students to opt out of watching the movie like the sex ed. Movie,” said Mr. Waclawski. It is a rule that was put in place by the district, not the school.
Dr. Gee shed some light on the subject when he said that teachers could show parts of an R-rated movie if it’s something a ten minute scene on YouTube, and it depends on why that movie got its rating.
