I actually don't disagree with any of that at all. My own school has a screen time policy that has been problematic for some parents. I do think that there needs to be recognition on the part of the new, gentrifier parents that people do not tend to respond well when you enter a school, start saying that the way they did things before you got there is not acceptable/lazy/whatever without really knowing that much about the school other than what happens in their 3 year old's class. When you're attending a school that many would consider failing and you come in and a once-a-week movie is the thing you fixate on as a problem, the people who are worried about the educational and safety issues in the classrooms are going to see you as entitled.

I am not saying that everyone behaves this way, but I have seen it.

I still have no idea what the OP was talking about about fundraisers and classroom priorities.[/quote]

I agree, people should be more tactful, especially when they are new and don't know much about the school.  BUT.  If the school is failing, then why on earth are they having TV rather than something more educational?  The issues are connected, at least in the minds of many. [/quote]

+1. Seems even more important to eliminate screen time in the case of failing schools.[/quote]
