If the students wanted to see it they more than likely have computers at home to look it up themselves in their free time.

It's been confirmed the body parts delivered to schools in Vancouver belong to Jun Lin. http://news.ca.msn.com/canada/vancou...ong-to-jun-lin

I know I have enough safe-guards to stop that kinda thing being shown here on the children's pcs...we are very heavy on that kind of thing.
Should one or more of them have hacked into my lap-top that would be a different matter. And resulted in removal of internet priviledges for all of them.

We never had computer rules or restrictions as teens at my house, so it would have been easy to look for that kind of stuff if we really wanted to. The computer was in the living room because of lack of space, but it would have been easy to look up once my parents were in bed or went out.
Plus I'm pretty sure the majority of kids and teens have computers in their rooms now that aren't monitored, or have friends that do, so if they were really that curious they would have been able to figure out some way to find the video on their own.

If he were my teacher I would have walked out of that class and reported him before he even got to show the beginning of it to his students.

Some students in the school where this video was shown are currently circulating a petition to get their teacher back to school.

like i said the students were aching to see the vid, i would be too if i was in that classroom.... the MAJORITY of students wanted to watch it.

Majority can mean 1 vote MORE than the ones that did not want to see that awful and sickeningly cruel posting. He gave no thought to the family of the victim, or the effects seeing that might have on these young minds that think they can " handle " anything. Teacher was wrong in this case. ( jmho )

e-Bay pulls Berlin cafe chair sale

The chair accused killer Luka Magnotta sat in before he was busted at an Internet cafe in Germany last week was put up for auction on eBay.


The Berlin cafe owner reportedly placed the ad and said the chair is an "unbeatable conversation piece."


It garnered 36 bids, the highest at 1,111 euros ($1,430) on the weekend before the site shut it down Sunday.

the vote was 22 to 3 in favour. Those who voted against remained in the class anyway, and viewed it. The teacher did no wrong.... the snuff vid was no more graphic than violent video games or any slasher flick.

Sorry, but that's crap. A teacher has a duty to act 'in loco parentis' (in the place of a parent), judging whether content is suitable to the child's age, mental and physical being - in short, a duty of care.
In this case, the teacher should not have shown the video - which IS obviously more graphic than your examples.

The difference is this was A REAL PERSON....not fake, not make-up, no special effects. A living breathing person, someone's son and friend, who had his life taken away by a maniac.

If the class voted 22 to 3 in favor of watching a o, you'd say that was okay too?

A classroom is not a democracy. You must have gone to a very strange school if you think it is or that it should be.

exactly..

Even though the press is trying to find out anything dubious about his past to make him unsympathic and a natural victim, his vicious death is to his family, friends, classmates is traumatic enough without it being a freakshow available on-line.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee…

They are Grade 10 students..I could see a teacher allowing them to watch something more mature than "Cars"..though Penguinette 1(gr 8) has been telling me about a documentry about the Lord's Resistance Army that her culture class had watched, which upset a lot of her fellow students.

However, that was part of the block they were studying. Not an end-of-term free-for-all video fest

I think there should be a serious inquiry as to whether that teacher has the ability to act in the best interest of the students. How is watching that video of any educational value whatsoever to Grade 10 kids? The only thing that experience taught them was that you can have what you want as long as you're influential enough. I can't believe there are teachers like that who are *supposed* to be acting in the best interest of the students.

At the very least, the teacher should be undergoing some sensitivity training and needs to grow up a bit before he should be allowed to influence young minds. If I was a parent of one of those children, I'd be furious! The school would certainly be hearing from me!
