R rated videos (again!)

[Guusje Zimmerman Moore <guusje@TENET.EDU>]

Before I get run of the list for being an impossible prude let me state
that I have nothing against nudity and would have no problem with the
Oliva Hussey Romeo and Juliet and it's quick flash of bare buns (and was
that one R anyway)...what I do have a problem with is blood and
gore...and two daughters who are a prone to nightmares when they see some
some of the violent/scary ones.  And I have a problem with teachers who
overuse videos...and we all know that there are some out there... A
carefully choses video can vividly enhance a book/unit but it can be
taken to extremes.  some
