Television at School?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I was hoping to get your thoughts on the following.

I have known for some time that my son's teacher at school has a tendency of

putting movies (Atlantis, Star Wars) on during recess and Friday afternoons, I

find this very disturbing on many levels. First, I am not sending my son to

school to watch TV. Second, shouldn't their time be utilized on learning a more

appropriate skill such as socializing appropriately? Third, many of these

children have a tendency of scripting (personal experience) and television does

not help.

I have spoken to the teacher, but she has no response and the other parents do

not appear to be too concerned. Am I crazy? Television is not something that

would be deemed appropriate in a regular ed setting why is it okay in a special

ed private school?

Thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
