[quote=Anonymous]I went to what, by today's standards, would be considered an under-performing school in a very poor school district in Appalachia. There were no extras, we barely had books. All workbooks were re-used year after year. Since the county had only 1 school 1st - 6th (no K) and 1 school 7-12, some kids rode the bus for nearly 2 hours each way. FARMs rate??? probably off the chart. Everyone was on free and reduced lunch.

Do you know what was a huge treat for us? The days that our class had a turn with the 1 movie projector. The teachers would hang a white sheet over the blackboard and show us an educational movie (not VHS... the old reel type projector). It was amazing, Schoolhouse Rock was my favorite. I bought the DVD for my kids.

As long as it's not a frequent occurrence, I wouldn't make a huge deal. Its a nice treat for the kids and if used correctly, it does add value to the class.

OTOH, if you are vehemently opposed, I would suggest (this is a serious suggestion) that you look into Waldorf education.
