I will be fostering a 5 year old autistic boy and 10 year old punk?

None of the children in that class should have been shown the movie let alone the child with those sort of difficulties. This government is all for having children with special needs included in mainstream school when it's clearly NOT appropriate for them to be taught by a teacher who has no idea what the needs of the child in her care are. As a parent myself I would not be happy that my 13 year old was shown a film that I wouldn't allow them to watch at home.

I can't believe the nastiness of some of the 'retards' posting insults about children with additional needs on this question. They have no idea what it's like to suffer from or have a child that suffers with Autism. Some have BRILLIANT minds but find it difficult to cope in social situations.

They are not dimwitted they just take thing literally. It's the hope that other children can see past the disability and be more understanding and tolerant of children that are different. Thankfully kids are more open than some of the so called adults that post in this section.

Showing a clip from a cert 15 film to a class of 13 year olds is perfectly legal, the 15 cert only regulates what can be shown in public auditoria. Even then it isn't legally binding, it's just a recommendation by the BBFC. I saw screenings of the films 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' and 'Vanishing Point' (both cert 18) at my school's cinema club.

It's a pity this kid was upset by the movie clip and I suppose his teacher should have been a bit more sensitive to his potential reaction, but from the info in the story this is the first time there's been any adverse reaction.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
