She is 7.5, yr 3. Yr 4 teacher was not available to teach her class so they put both classes together and put on a film. The Whole Film.
Now. It's not that I don't want my DD watching The Croods particularly. I don't want her watching any film at school tbh. Unless it's a special occasion, or a relevant film to something they are learning.
If I don't take her to school so she can go to the aquarium, or any other fun thing i feel is appropriate before school, or took her out for an event, I would get into trouble, it would not be 'authorised' or appropriate. So why is it ok to put on a DVD for 60 children so the teacher can do something else (more important than teaching 60 children?) for over an hour?
I get that sometimes events beyond the teacher's control happen, and in those situations, things need to be juggled, but this was not staff sickness, and surely there were other things they could do - reading, PE, art? Or at the very leaf watching something a bit more bloody educational than The Croods?
it's not like it's a rare occasion. It happens relatively regularly.
