[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree and often feel I am alone in my opinion. Even worse is early elementary teacher who play videos of books being read, rather than reading to their students. [/quote]

Screens really need to be removed for the most part from elementary schools - maybe from all schools.  These kids get more than enough screen time at home.

It seems like every time I sub in an elementary school, I’m asked to put on a video about a book instead of just READING the book aloud.  One time, the video wouldn’t play for some reason so I just read to the students and they were completely focused, engaged, and silent.  These kids need books, not videos.[/quote] play videos of books being read in class? This is so sad! My child will be a raising kindergartener next year and I kind of dread sending them to school.

Agree, this is sad and shocking to me. Who thinks this is a good idea??[/quote]

My kid’s second grade teacher did this while I was there helping with something. I can only imagine what happens with no parents there. My child says she sits all day. My mom taught 2nd for years and she had all the ailments that come with being in your feet all day for years. I am sad for our children. [/quote]

I have a medical issue that affects my feet and sit a portion of the day, as well as use of a cane. Standing for more than a couple hours causes significant pain, luckily my students understand…and I don’t appear to have annoying parents like those on DCUM.[/quote]

My middle kid had a near-retiree as a kindergarten teacher. She sat in a rocking chair when she read them books, which was frequently and most especially at all the portions of the day people on this thread are (justifiably) complaining some teachers use screens. 10 minutes until the bell? It's story time!

In first grade the (otherwise excellent) teacher would turn on an episode of Cat in the Hat on the smart board in the same situation.[/quote]
