Did we have to go to blue balls? Really? You want to reach students, but of course what you made can't be shown in class. What was the point?

@19RWM72 The line between acceptable humor and not safe for the classroom humor is a blurry one, and it's not the same for any teacher. Your job is to decide where you toe the line. For the record, I screen every film for my darling wife, who is a superstar elementary music teacher and also my award winning censor.She usually stops me before I go too far. Still--this joke gets the most complaints and will likely be retired when I update the video in the next several months.

Seriously! The best American Lit intro ever! I can't wait to play it for my students, with approval of course.

If it helps, the same videos are available on TeacherTube, which sometimes carries a little more favor with administrators. Glad you liked it!

I loved it. The only thing that made me flinch a bit was the mention of Stephenie Meyer. *ouch*

@ILoveTaratavo It's called "Sing, Sing, Sing."
