So today, my lesson totally flopped.

Certainly, ethical debates are more commonly found in college (as is neurosciene), but I thought my middle school kids could have an intelligent discussion err, could have a discussion about animal testing in science.

Apparently not.

That's about all there is to say - it didn't work. I expected at least a "aw, I don't want my cat to get hurt. I don't like animal testing" or a "lots of medicines come from animals - that's good." \

I had high hopes for making a poster and presentation about the kids' ideas for our final project, but now I just want to bury this and move on. Any ideas for next topics? Mental health? Language learning? Hmm.
