#3 This is a little nutty. Anyone who thinks third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students don't watch the Simpsons has been living in a cave. I am going to guess that some over-protective parent complained.

#4 It shouldn't make any difference what movie they were watching. He was supposed to be teaching them something.

#5 Plenty of substitutes use videos as a pacifier. They are paid little more than the minimum wage and are expected to make sure no one is injured and that the children are not utterly without adult supervision.

But despite the fact that many elementary schoolers may have seen the Simpsons, that is no reason for the school to sanction it by showing it at any time. Plenty of parents of elementary school children watch R and X rated films with them. That doesn't mean I want my kid doing it or my tax dollars paying for it.

#8 Nimble, it's when they show "The Lion King" as biology instead of teaching biology that really frosts me.
