Yes, I’ll definitely go see it before I indorse it in class! I like to do something with my kids and their parents sometime during the spring or summer as an optional outing outside of school context. It’s usually a movie and thought since we read the book, it would be fun. We’ll see. I like to watch it before hand, but also get some input on it from others before I present it to the parents. Yes, the intensity level compared to Harry Potter is helpful! 🙂

I do have a few sensitive kids who have grown up in godly homes. Sadly, most of the kids do not and are playing such violent video games and watching movies and TV shows that I won’t watch and are definitely becoming desensitized.

Again, thank you for your input!

It really depends on the students. Most kids that age have been exposed to so much that this movie wouldn’t phase them even a little, but some students might get scared at some of the more intense scenes. With the Harry Potter movies, we let our kids watch up to the 2nd movie, but felt the 3rd movie wasn’t appropriate till they were a but older, and by the 4th and 5th movies I wouldn’t want to let me kids watch those until they were 12 or 13.

I think Percy is about a bit more intense than the third Harry Potter but not quite so much as the fourth if that helps you. Definitely pre-screen it.

I read your post. It is good, you should definitely see the movie.

Also, thanks.

We are getting the books. My wife really enjoyed it and was practically begging for the books.

I’m a teacher and I read the book to my students. I’m going to see it for myself in a few days but wanted to know your opinion on what age may be appropriate. In class we have talked about the Greek and Roman gods/myths in relation to Christianity. I teach at a private, Christian school, but most of my class do not come from Christian families.

You’re a good father for doing your best to let your 6 year old wait to watch these kinds of movies.
