I don't see why you are so upset about teachers showing this video, Juventus. Then again, I showed it to my Science class as an introduction to their Environmental Chemistry unit - to get them used to some of the ideas that would be presented in the unit.

It's topical and new and like it or not, kind of 'hip' - exactly what teenagers are looking for. I don't see what the big problem is.

I agree four teachers showing it is too much ... the only places I can see it possibly being connected to a curriculum would be in Social Studies or Science. Maybe in a Leadership class. Anyway.
