Teacher playing a Taylor Swift video

[Anonymous]

Seriously? This is an upper ES reading class where students are supposed to use texts for deeper understanding and the teacher is supposed to teach strategies for reading comprehension. The video shows teens kissing on the car.
Now we can see how hard some teachers work to rise the quality of our children’s education.

Email the teacher. So bizarre!

WTF is wrong with a Taylor swift video? You don't think your kids have seen teenagers or adults kissing? If they haven't, that's sad.

No, Principal, this is wrong.

What’s the rationale?

It’s a READING class, not stupidity class.

Let’s pick apart every moment of every day, but never contact the teacher voice a concern.

Genuinely curious how you would voice this concern in a way that shows you view the teacher as a major partner with you in your child's education.

Was this a reward for hard work? Transition time?

Huh, I remember being in some super smart English class in high school and doing a poetry lesson that started with music each day, and then we'd read and talk about the lyrics.

Email the teacher and say you were concerned about a video being played in class where there was kissing. Ask what the intention was. It’s not hostile it’s a legitimate question. We can’t be afraid of communication. These are our children. Be simple and non-judge mental in your phrasing.

Nope. It was during instruction time.

What was the teacher's expressed reason for playing the video? Was it a movement break, or tied to the lesson somehow? If you don't know, then you don't know enough to be outraged.
