[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of a tv on during recess.  My kids have always had games, cards, blocks, activities.  I wish they were more liberal with outdoor time when it is cold (even 50% of recess outdoor/indoor) but at least they do have down-time and no tv. [/quote]

Are you in MCPS?

The MCPS ES classrooms have a Promethean board in each classroom.  It's not a separate TV.  So, the aides put something on during indoor recess.  Either a movie, or a Magic Schoolhouse.  Kids don't have to watch it, but it's on.  But, no, it's not a TV, per se.  Just the big Promethean board screen.  Plus Chromebooks.[/quote]

It's not always the aides.  I've been asked to sub for indoor recess and the classroom teachers already have a show on the Promethean Board before I arrive.  [/quote]

That’s true!  The Promethean board is there, so the aides and teachers use it.  All. The. Time.  [/quote]

Asked my fourth grader if they ever show movies on the promethean board during recess and she said never.  I asked about previous years and she said they have never done that.  [b](Of course, they do let them play on the chromebooks, so I'm not sure that's better.)[/quote][/b]

It's the same thing but just more expensive.[/quote]
