When I asked him why the teacher let him watch the shows, he said it was probably because the teacher wanted the kids to leave her alone so she could work on the computer. My son, who is normally a big reporter type, had no idea if they were supposed to be learning something from the shows, which included typical Nick Jr. things (not Dr. Suess-themed shows, for what it's worth).
This is my oldest child, so I'm new at the public school game, but am I naive to be upset about this? Can more experienced parents or teachers speak to whether this is normal or not? Am I missing something that they may be learning?
No, never heard of this. Was it a substitute? What school system? I'd be making a phone call to the principal to ask whiskey tango foxtrot.
