I want the slide of the red striped pajama man vigorously fucking his bed after taking barbiturates - I want that for an icon. Thanks.

I love that not only did filmstrips allow the teacher to avoid discussion but, with your anecdote as evidence, they actively discouraged discussion by catching fire and destroying all of the evidence.

Your mention of the help out thing reminds me. All of my teachers must have been the most technically inept people in the world. A student always had to load the projector, hook up the TV/VCR etc.

I recall that the TVs were on these big rolling carts, so the TV was positioned about 6' high. Well till about 5th grade, it was a student's job to fetch the TV and return it when done. A TV fell off the cart, bonked the student in the head injuring him badly. So then teachers only could wheel the TV's around, which previoudly were attached to the cart by gravity and now had more straps and guy wires than a radio tower.
