[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long is the video?  My kids are in elem for 7 hrs a day.  They don't get screen time when we gone home because we have homework and then are outside playing in the neighborhood. Then shower and pjs..  If they get 30 or 40 minutes of an educational video at school, then I am ok.  [/quote]
Videos in class plus homework after = idiotic.[/quote]
Wow.... Should it be all work every inkling of the 7 hr day?  Let me as you.  As a parent, are you helping to educate your child directly?  Should fun Friday be eliminated too?  Should teachers be expected to occupy that time as well?  It is do easy to complain and be critical when you are an outsider looking in.  Bigger question.  Does your child enjoy school?  Is your child learning?  [/quote]

So true PP.  In this time where parents are struggling to find the right and best education for our kids to help prepare them for the future, you have people that find things like a 30 min video to focus on and complain about. If watching magic School Bus is going to ruin your child or gravely impact his/her educational experience, you have bigger fish to fry at home.   Is your LO not getting math, English, writing, PE, music, Spanish, recess in?  Oh wait, should we cut recess out too???  Haha.  As for the evil homework, get off your lazy soapboxes about homework and start getting involved with your child's schoolwork.  Oh, is that not your job?  Wake up and stop complaining.  I am so sick of people complaining about homework and why it is so evil.  Do you really not understand how it helps to reinforce concepts and even more, how it makes your child feel that you are helping instead of just watching? I am a parent of two elem kids and I am glad they have homework.  I want to know where they need more practice and I am NOT going to wait until mid-year or a PT conference to find out.  Geeeez.  Let's focus on what is important.  Next.[/quote]
