I've had some troubles with what we've been doing in school lately. In 3 different videos, we've seen dead animals and it's really starting to disturb me. In History, we've seen 2 separate videos with entirely unsessecary clips of cows being slaughtered. WHY?! It's justg disturbing and unessecary! In scinece class, we were watching a video about things that the human eye can not see. We were watching sped-up videos of things like fruits rotting, and then they showed a mouse decomposing!:eye-poppi Honestly, if that had been a dead person, or even a dog or cat, and not a mouse, theywoldn't have even considered showing it! Also, in English, the teacher made us write about a cow, and he had a slideshow of cow paintings, including a slaughtered cow:sad:
And now I have even more problems. In History, because we are learning about industrialization, we are reading some of The Jungle, which, for those who don't know, is a book that is primarily about Chicago's slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants. I have to read a book that goes into graphic detail about pigs being slughtered. Wonderful.
Aaaaaannd, in Science class, we're going to be doing an entire unit where we study organisms(from what I've heard, probably crawfish), and we will have to observe dead organisms and organisms eating each other.
Ok, that was pretty much just venting, but if anyone has any suggestions on what I could do to not have to do things like read The Jungle, or anytnig like that, please tell me!
