I know with today's ADD/short attention span/impulse control problem kids you have to do things to grab their attention and invest them in the educational process, but a simple discussion would have been more appropriate. I liked to be blowing stuff up in Chemistry class, but Social Studies should be more sedate. Don't they have film strips anymore?

Admittedly, I don't like flag burning, except as a means of destroying a damaged flag, but it's considered protected speech. Now, is there a "just because" exception to this? The teacher wasn't protesting anything, rather he was wantonly destroying the flags ...
