Have any of you had middle school classes visit one of the (inter)national
touring exhibits of the human body? I have health & science teachers who are
exploring (and debating) taking students, but there is some ambivalence,
especially for squeamish students who feel faint simply at the sight of their
own blood. I saw Body World in Chicago and, as an adult, found it extraordinary
& fascinating, but I wonder if the choice to bring students of this age should
be left to their parents' discretion & judgment.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
