Well I saw it in '86 when it came out and I was 8 then. I feel ok with my 11 year old watching it.

What do you find objectionable, specifically?

I think she means the newer one. But I saw that in my first year of HS, I remember because I wasn’t 17 yet and a friends parent came and saw it with us.

If you think high schoolers don’t watch rated R movies...I don’t know what to tell you.

This seems a bit much for 6th grade.

Deal isn't a high school.

Ooops sorry Pk3 teacher here. Eh that’s another story then, it’s up to the parent. I love Pan’s labyrinth and would probably let an 8th grader watch that. 11 and 12 year olds...probably not.

Calm down Momma bear, I didn’t know Deal was a middle school, thought it was a high school.

Pan's Labyrinth is a Spanish movie. I understand that Hispanic Heritage Month is intended to celebrate the Latino community in the United States. I don't understand why Pan's Labyrinth would even be included.

Spaniards are Hispanic ... I’m actuallh impressed that they included it. The Spanish civil war isn’t often covered in American schools. It’s definitely not a movie for elementary kids but ok for middle school.

Hispanic = Spanish-speaking, including Spain
Latinx = People from Latin America (not all of whom are Spanish speaking)

They are often used interchangeably, but they do have different meanings. Presumably Hispanic Heritage Month is meant to celebrate the former.

Most middle schoolers would be bored to tears by it though.
