"Children are considered pretty sturdy up here in the North.
During the whole giraffe debate my Faroese housemate was like “I don’t see why people are so offended by children seeing an anatomy lesson. On the Faroe Islands school children are shown how to kill a sheep”"

Aren’t school children in US cutting up dead frogs? Or is that just made up by TV?
No no, children in US go to school so they can be dissected after a shooter comes by
Yeah, we dissected frogs, worms, and fish in eighth grade. In high school, if you took anatomy and physiology, I know they also dissected fetal pigs.
Depends on where your at. We only did owl pellets in my school
Earth worms and a pig fetus for me.
Skipped the pig as I have a bad reaction to formaldehyde. Did a grasshopper at university level. Grew up in a rural community so I have no misgivings about how the sausage is made. Don’t waste food if you can use it.
That was for the advanced classes, if you were the kids being passed so you wern’t “Left Behind” (like myself), you got nothing. Cool science classes cost money and they just want you to pass the tests so they didn’t lose their funding.
I did frogs, but also when I was 9, one of the teachers’ husband happened to have caught a shark, so we watched that dissection too.
For me it was a sheep’s eyeball when I was in 4th grade. This was in 1998.
Might be a college thing, I never did it in K-12. I graduated '99 for year reference.
