[quote=Anonymous]Reliance on movie watching during aftercare is a pet peeve of mine. Our school generally avoids doing it enough that I'm usually willing to let the few exceptions go, but I really wish there was a bright line prohibition. It represents a very lazy approach to caring for and teaching kids, especially for professional educators and caregivers. It's one thing if I as a parent want to let my kids watch a movie at home, but school and aftercare ought to be held to a higher standard. And for my own DD's sake, movie watching is a real source of stress because she is unusually sensitive to movies and unless they are extremely tame, she can easily end up having trouble sleeping at night. To her credit, even as a young elementary school student, she's adopted some very self-assured means of coping, including bringing a book on days when she expects a movie to be shown, so she can minimize the risk of being scared. But it shouldn't be her responsibility. [/quote]
