Very nice, Rhea.



..and then something completely different.
We're supposed to hold presentations at school. The presentations will be filmed and afterwards we're going to dissect everybody's "performance". The subject can be anything that we're interested in and know well, such as a hobby, for example. Anything goes, EXCEPT SNAKES, because our teacher is afraid of even looking at pictures of them.

So, I'm looking for a subject that's going to get a stronger reaction out of her than snakes. In short, I'm a bit ticked off. I'm supposed to work with a "handicap" because she's got a problem with snakes? I don't ****ing think so.

there are lots of shocking images in the field of medicine - surgery, forensics, dissections - not to mention the effects of unsanitary conditions in third world countries

then there are spiders - how does she feel about those?

[dashnu]

pretty stupid of her... Do your project about maggots.

[Stefan-A]

Spiders have been done, she didn't ban them. My top candidates at the moment are legless lizards, caecilians or intestinal parasites.

[jitami]

That is rediculous... can't wait to hear what you come up with instead of snakes

[infernalis]

Intestinal parasites, along with photos of UNTREATED life forms that have the later stages of this. (A Tapeworm half way out should get attention)

Stefan, You would not be the last person that happens to.

It is VERY unfair that you are prohibited from working with a subject that you are so damn passionate about.

I thought that teachers were not allowed to let personal issues interfere with curriculum?

[Loren]

Wayne, you and I think alike(at times) , I was about to suggest a big tapeworm too.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I might do it on snakes anyway. I'd like to see her explain why it's "forbidden".

I thought that teachers were not allowed to let personal issues interfere with curriculum?

At the very least, it's unethical.

[Zephyr]

Stefan, if at all costs you can't do it on snakes, I'd go with caecillians; one of the most snake-like creatures I've ever seen.

Or legless lizards. When I went to the San Diego zoo there were tons of people wondering why the animals in the exhibit were lizards and not snakes. :P

[Garter_Gertie]

then there are spiders - how does she feel about those?

That's what I was going to suggest, Stefan.
