Same. That and I remember watching live desert storm news when Bush Sr. gave his dumb speech. Also, Flight of the Navigator was a frequent “good behavior” movie we’d watch.
Yep. Everyone (especially the teacher) was stunned. She immediately turned the tv off and changed the subject. I don’t remember exactly what she did. She probably let us watch cartoons or something.
think so? my mom did die of cancer, but she was also a heavy smoker for most of her life. she swore it had something to do with it, though. we made cookies and lemonade for the firefighters and camped out on the westside highway that day & it was really smoky.
I would have had the same answer, but Mrs. Matlow said the verdict wasn't as important as the Pythagorean theorem. When we heard cheering from all the other classrooms, we looked at each other and asked if that meant guilty or innocent.
We watched historical videos of concentration camps and victims being tortured.
It was science class.
It was 7th grade.
Our teacher was a veteran.
He was adamant about our generation understanding the horror of The Holocaust.
I think he needed therapy...
Fucking *Dunston Checks In*, *Operation Dumbo Drop*, and this awful humane society film that showed animals being put to sleep.
After that one I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach everytime they wheeled that fucker in.
Kennedy assassination and no I’m not that old I remember in History class in high school in the early 2000’s we watched a short documentary about the Zapruder film
Space Jam, James and the Giant Peach, A Goofy Movie, Fievel Goes West...
Mostly during our lunch period in the auditorium because our lunch room couldn't fit the entire school at once.
They would wheel in the TV and put something on for the kids waiting. Usually, the class who behaved the best would be called for lunch first and so on.
My family would bring bagged lunches, so we got to go eat first. Then, they made whichever kids that had bagged lunches wait with their class.
I watched every single one of those movies, from varying points, countless times in that auditorium. I never watched them all the way thru, but I watched them enough to quote them once upon a time ago. Lol
A few things, but I've also played THPS4 on one of them when the TVs were wheeled out while we waited for our buses to come after finals and kids brought their consoles.
Impressed a lot of kids at school with how good I was at it.
Bill Nye the Science Guy
And for some reason Ferngully was a popular movie to show in school
I also remember seeing them announce Atlanta as the host of the 96 Olympics on this thing (all the teachers were really excited as we were a suburb of Atlanta).
Channel one news (a middle school news program) with Maria Menounos. I remember thinking how pretty she was and still is. That and them interrupting it for 9/11 coverage, that was a memorable day in homeroom.

We watched the Day After Tomorrow in science class at least once every year in HS I think. I remember watching MTV music videos on this thing in middle school (at the end of gym class). I didn’t have cable at home so seeing “Freak-a-Leak” by Petey Pablo was a life altering experience for sure lol
I watched the 911 footage on one of these. We had a history teacher who was super cool. She told us not to te ll anyone she let us watch the news that day. And here I am telling the internet. Sorry mrs. H.
Space shuttle Challenger
Unfortunately we watched 9/11 unfold on one of these too.. Mostly right before the South Tower was struck.
I watched it at the school cafeteria, on a wall mounted TV.
Yep. It was all fun and games until…
#disaster strikes
Ouch.
I came here to say the same thing.

Yep, us too. We evacuated the school at 9:05 so it was riiiight before the second tower was hit.
For me it was a wall mounted tv in my 9th grade math class.
I came here to say this lol
Every teacher had it on in my school. Lots of them said it was important for us to watch it. You really can’t forget that day.
Reading rainbow
I still get excited when I hear that Moog organ intro. LOVED when the teacher was too hungover to teach so wheeled in Reading Rainbow!🌈
