Is it wrong to be told by your teacher to go out and kill bugs and bring them into school for a class project?

I had to do this when I was in elementary school. We ain't gonna discuss how long that's been neither.
We had to catch em an then mount em on styrofoam we put in shoe boxes. Had to have their common name an scientific name listed below each bug. Some odd years later, I've still got respect for life. Didn't hurt me none.

It makes a difference as to if it is an Art project or a science project because of what the child will learn from it.
How are the bugs to be killed? Seems like a haphazard "project" to me. I am not opposed to the killing of bugs and animals as long as there is good reason. However, to send kids out to kill random bugs, in a random fashion for no stated goal seems like a dumb *** teacher and a dumb *** assignment. |

I had to do this. My dad gave me a glass jar with a cotton ball soaked in Everclear.
How did Charles Darwin explore evolution and types of species? |

I had to do a leaf collection in elementary school. I had to kill all those leaves.....but the tree remained strong....
a few bugs to learn ..I think it's ok. Why do you kill things that are " about" to bite you. Are you in tune with their motivation..????? they have to eat. We are infecting the Green Monkeys with H1N1 letting their livers fester and disease, in order to make a vaccine.... Are supporting that? "pick which hill you want to die on" |

OMG, 40 people die each year as a result of insect bites.!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it is to teach them about how many different bugs there are in the immediate area. Also to teach about what each group of bugs does in the world. Also about how we don't "see" the bugs unless we are looking for them. |

They're BUGS! There's billions more where they came from, trust me. 
on one hand you're exactly right I read once that in one square mile of land (not developed) that there are more insects than all the humans on the planet on the other hand, when I was in school I had a lot of friends in the Biology dept. They were herps. studying to be herpetologists (reptiles and snakes). They had these giant rubber bands with a stick to launch em. Whe they saw a lizard or a snake they would zap it with the rubber band. stunned the lizard but totally unharmed. They would never have killed the animals they were studying |

I have a friend that is a biologist and her job is to make up the microbiology sets for schools-bugs,algae,fish. Your school is replacing her job-BAD school stop it now. She needs the OT.
