This forum is so toxic. Stop backseat driving your kid’s education.

Private schools are no different. They show videos for almost every subject to "supplement learning"...complete and total laziness. Just be happy you're not paying a hefty tuition like I am!

Our elementary school uses videos to teach science and social studies.

So, yes, Op, bring on the short vids scattered throughout the day with no one center of control bc they trade classes and each teacher does his/her own vids not knowing or caring if the others are also. More screen time.



Your situation is clearly the minority for ES. Yesterday/today are normal days with some Thanksgiving themed activities woven in.

My middle schooler had a test and school work. One teacher let them watch a World Cup game.

Interesting. I teach middle school, and my students were complaining because they had a quiz in one class, they were carrying on with curriculum in two others, and they were learning new material in two others.They were complaining that they couldn't watch the World Cup because their teachers were making them do work.

It seems like movies are not common at my school!

Yes, lots of videos shown as the ‘lesson’. There are no textbooks.

+1
It hasn't even been a consideration. Today and tomorrow are normal, movie-free days.

Maybe she can't get the Spanish version through the school wifi?


She could get other materials in Spanish at the Instituto Cervantes.

I bet they’ll expand their vocabulary. If I were the Spanish teacher I would introduce nouns, adjectives, and verbs related to “fútbol”.
