| My kid is watching the World Cup game tomorrow in her Spanish class - but in Spanish. I’m good with that. |

I bet they’ll expand their vocabulary. If I were the Spanish teacher I would introduce nouns, adjectives, and verbs related to “fútbol”. |

She could get other materials in Spanish at the Instituto Cervantes. |

+1 It hasn't even been a consideration. Today and tomorrow are normal, movie-free days. |

| Yep. Our elementary is showing vids throughout the days. Today even the PE teacher had them watch soccer on TV instead of moving around! The general music teacher also showed a movie. This is in addition to Magic School bus last Friday after the field trip. Not much traditional learning going on at our elementary school. Tomorrow is the Turkey Trot for all grades. So, yes, Op, bring on the short vids scattered throughout the day with no one center of control bc they trade classes and each teacher does his/her own vids not knowing or caring if the others are also. More screen time. |

| Yes, lots of videos shown as the ‘lesson’. There are no textbooks. |

Interesting. I teach middle school, and my students were complaining because they had a quiz in one class, they were carrying on with curriculum in two others, and they were learning new material in two others.They were complaining that they couldn't watch the World Cup because their teachers were making them do work. It seems like movies are not common at my school! |

| My middle schooler had a test and school work. One teacher let them watch a World Cup game. |

Your situation is clearly the minority for ES. Yesterday/today are normal days with some Thanksgiving themed activities woven in. |

| Our elementary school uses videos to teach science and social studies. |

| Private schools are no different. They show videos for almost every subject to "supplement learning"...complete and total laziness. Just be happy you're not paying a hefty tuition like I am! |
