My history teacher played "Cortez the Killer" by Neil Young this year when we were learning about Cortez, that's probably the only instance I can remember of music in class.

Yeah, it's really not appropriate for teachers to be playing any music in a sixth grade class unless it's for a project, in which case the music is generally preselected orrr selected by students and then needs to be approved by the teacher.

However, I do think that's a pretty huge over reaction and don't think the teacher should be punished so harshly for listening to shit music.

yeah normally i do not agree with political correctness, but i cannot think of a scenario where a sixth grade science teacher could possibly find any legitimate reason to do something like this. when you're dealing with young children, you really ought to be presenting them things with some kind of redeeming educational value.

Remember guyz, Marilyn Manson and Rammstein are what led to Columbine (dumb joke).

Anyways, like others have said, Music shouldn't be played in like this. Maybe if it's free time to work on something then yeah some light background music or something but I don't think this is the right kind.

I don't think she should've been playing that stuff at school. I mean, I'm going to be a teacher, and probably the most offensive thing I would play in the classroom might be Cocaine by Eric Clapton. Its not about any moral argument but rather what is suitable for a teacher to play in a school environment in front of impressionable young kids that BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. If it was going to start shit like this she should've known better.

Wait, doesn't HIM stand for His Infernal Majesty?
Why haven't the parents got him/her for playing 'satanist' music to 10yr olds?

Yeah, I pretty much agree with Hundley on this one. I can't think of a good reason why this teacher would be doing this. And, why the hell is a teacher who doesn't teach music handing out mix tapes?

I remember listening to music in art class. We'd bring along our own music or play the radio - and let me tell you, some of the music brought along was pretty nasty. And I ain't talking Britney Spears nasty, either. Still, all of my class mates are still alive and kicking.

Perhaps they were doing an experiment in the was sound affects different objects and liquids, and how different sounds do so? That would be (imo) permissible in a science class. Spicing it up for the kids entertainment, though really, that sort of music would most likely not be the best type to play with under-teens in your care. Perhaps if they were older teens, yes. Primary students? No. Stick to classical or whatnot.

HEY KIDS I LISTEN TO HIM, THAT'S COOL NOWADAYS, RIGHT, RIGHT?!

I had a consistently drunk 8th grade teacher that, while I wasn't in her class at the time, actually printed out a 'joke test' that she got from a fellow teacher in an email (I believe it was something along the lines of MATH IN THE HOOD countin' bitches and ho's) as an actual TEST for her 8th grade class. Needless to say, after 20-odd years of whiskey hidden in a Garfield cookie jar, she was fired. She was one of those teachers that consitently tried to be "hip" and cool" and FAILED.

I think it was like this, only MUCH WORSE:

BAD BAD BAD MATH TEST (Click to reveal)

NAME____________________

GANG/CREW NAME______________ CRIB_________________

1. Ramon has an AK-47 with a 30-round mag. He usually misses 6 of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many drive-by shootings can Ramon hit before he reloads?

2. D'Leroy has 2 ounces of cocaine. If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for $85 per gram. What be the street value of the rest of his shit?

3. LaDwayne pimps 3 ho's. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne's $800 per day Crack habit?

4. Raul wants to cut the pound of cocaine he bought for $40,000 to make 20% profit. How many ounce bags will he need to make to get the 20% upside?

5. Desmond gets $2000 for a stolen BMW, $1500 for stealing a Corvette, and $1000 for a 4 x 4. If he steals 1 BMW, 2 Corvettes and 3 4x4's, how many more Corvettes must he steal to have $9000?

6. Pedro got 6 years for murder. He also got $10,000 for the hit. If his common-law wife spends $100 of his hit money per month, how much money will be left when he gets out?

7. If an average can of spray paint covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can be sprayed with 3-8 oz. cans of spray paint with 20% paint left over?

8. Tyrone knocked up 4 Ho's in the gang. There be 24 ho's in his gang. What be the percentage of bitches Tyrone knocked up?

9. LaShaunda is a lookout for the gang. LaShaunda also has a Boa Constrictor that eats 5 rats per week and the cost be $5 per rat. If LaShaunda makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can she feed her snake with one week's income?

10. Marvin steals Juan's skateboard. As Marvin skates away at 15 mph, Juan loads his 357 Magnum piece. If it takes Juan 20 seconds to load his piece, how far away will Marvin be when he gets whacked?

I always thought Him sung about love... Either way, Protecting children from things is one thing, but trying to coddle them is another. I'd rather let children listen to HIM then most rappers any way, since from what it sounds like most rap seems derogatory to women and about killing, and shooting etc (Correct me if i'm wrong), At least HIM is about giving it all up for the sake of love (which a lot of people should be doing, well peace any way).

and the teacher shouldn't be sacked for this, just suspended and punished for goofing off in class, not Trying to broaden children's taste in music. Oh and 'thecatamites', HIM FUCKING ROCK.

RIP DoktorMartini

I like HIM. I have to admit that I didn't for a few years before I did because the first song I ever heard by them was "Join me in death" on the Resident Evil 2 Soundtrack.

I often don the old Ipod in school, helps keep the mood alive, stops IT getting the better of me.

This is pretty daft. When people have a valid argument, they dont half have a way of putting it across stupidly.

What? This shit is stupid.

When I was in 7th grade our teacher let us bring CDs to school so that the rest of the class could listen to them while we worked. Of course he made sure that the stuff didn't have any foul language in it though.

I guess I could see how music could be used in a writing class maybe, but hardly HIM...

I have to side with the parents on this one, although administrative lead is a bit much, I think.
My issue is not that students shouldn't be listening to music that isn't Grade A parent approved (TM), but rather that there is a time and a place for everything, and I have a lot of trouble seeing how listening to music about suicide (which many children in my experience think about constantly anyways) has anything to do with science. You're paid to teach science, so teach science and be done with it.
Also, what's this with children bringing CDs to their parents. Are kids not sneaking around and lying to their parents these days?

Those who can, pay. Those who can't, delay.
