[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent I would be annoyed if a teacher showed this movie unless it were a rainy day during lunch or the last day of school or maybe even if there were a substitute. The teacher claims:

“Barbee said the movie focuses on humans' relationship to the environment, which was why she chose to show it to her class after a section on ecosystems, plants and animals.”

There are so many amazing Natgeo documentaries on Disney+ it’s ridiculous the teacher wasted time showing this movie. It is not based on a novel the students read either. She sounds like a lazy teacher. And not too bright if she works in Florida and thought no one would complain. If you go to common sense media there are a bunch of complaints from wacky parents.

Good lord you sound like a scrooge. The kids had just taken a standardized test. It's a Disney film for crissake.  Lighten up.[/quote]

Kids don't need to be sitting in school watching movies that tanked in the theater. This movie was a box office flop. So many kids don't watch any documentary shows like Nat Geo.  Take the students outside for extra recess, build towers with marshmallows and toothpicks, clean desks with shaving cream, do a fun art project, play board games, etc. I was a teacher and the teachers that just played movies at every opportunity were for the most part lazy teachers. I am not talking about students earning a movie as a reward, or reading a book then watching the movie (ex. One and Only Ivan, Hoot, etc.). I am not buying the - let's have the student connect with  "ecosystems, plants and animals" explanation for showing the film. [/quote]
