[quote=Anonymous][quote]Like it or not, there are educated parents who question teachers nowadays (again, not all teachers[b]). What is the logic of putting a whole class of 3rd graders to watch a video for 30 minutes every day? [/b]Educated parents do appreciate teachers who make the effort to teach explicitly. I still have great respect for two ES teachers who went above and beyond transmitting their passion for learning. 
Just last week, a sub teacher surprised one of my kids when she shared her experience at Monticello. I can guarantee she made a difference just by doing that.

If a teacher is showing a video for 30 minutes every day, then ask her.  That has nothing to do with a visit to Jamestown.

If she is doing it for a week, it may be that she has a good reason.  I can think of a couple--perhaps, she is pulling kids aside for special help or testing.  Perhaps, it is a really good teaching resource.  If she is showing a 30 minute video every day, I would have issues, but I would ask before condemning.  
I hardly think that a visit to Jamestown indicates a passion for teaching.[/quote]
