Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Student allowed back into anatomy class She refused to dissect cat; school gets CD-ROM to use in procedure By Jonathan D.Rockoff Sun Staff Originally published September 26, 2002 Three days after a Kenwood High School junior left an anatomy class because she refused to dissect a cat, the Baltimore County school system let her return to the honors course yesterday and perform simulated dissections on a computer. " I'm relieved, " Jennifer Watson, 16, of Essex said after learning the school system had purchased a CD-ROM so she can perform virtual dissections during her fifth-period class, rather than taking a standard-level class she didn't want. Watson said the turnabout will help many other classmates interested in learning physiology without cutting up dead animals. " The majority don't believe in it as well, but they're scared they will fail the class if they stand up, " she said. http://www.sunspot.net/news/education/bal-md.protest26sep26,0,6556129.story? coll=bal-local-headlines -- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
