[quote=Anonymous]On the subject of videos during indoor recess--this a school-based, and perhaps a class-by-class decision.  If you don't like it, complain to the principal and/or the PTA.  If enough parents dislike it, it's something that CAN be altered.  My kids play board games, read, draw, etc during indoor recess.  Deciding whether or not to have indoor recess is also a decision made at the school level, so there's room for complaint/change there too.

Videos during the rest of the day, well, what kind of videos are they?  Are they something that relates to the material and being used in conjunction with a lesson?  I agree that in MS/HS, videos were mainly a time-killer (but not always!), but in elementary school a five-minute video clip of volcanoes erupting and an explanation can be much more useful than looking a picture in a book.  If they're just watching Magic School Bus for half an hour while the teacher completes individual assessments, well, then I'd have an issue.

Relax, OP, things will certainly get more vigorous if not this year, than in 1st and 2nd grade.  Kindergarten is a catch-all of students on MANY different levels.  If she enjoys school, let it be.[/quote]
