WHAT?!?!?! You’re actually asking students to think instead of just regurgitate? And you haven’t been sued by a parent for causing undue stress that interferes with their non-school activities? More power to you and keep up the good work, students are lucky to have you as a teacher!

p.s. just to add in my 2 cents on the original topic... an 8 year-old with an Uzi? The father, the people that ran the "shoot", and the gun-club should all be put on the stand! In my opinion, the lad should have the opportunity to see it being handled and shot, but not actually handle it himself.
