dds school playing music in class

[UnbelievableJeff]

really alloyed cos dd school play music in school when kids needs to work

If it's putting them off, obviously it's not ok. But I know my DC listen to music in school, tuned quietly and on the condition that there is no/not much talking and it works fine and is an insentive to behave.

I would expect something classical or at least lyrical with good musicality.
The teachers taste stinks

It's not unusual to play particular music while children are working, such as classical music during creative writing lessons. But I would struggle to see the purpose of playing Beiber or One Direction. Oh, and I've been a primary school teacher since '96.

Possibly OK for warm ups at the beginning if a lesson. But very tenuous.

I work in a High School where many teachers let the kids choose the music on a Friday afternoon. It plays in the back ground while they get on with projects. The threat is always there that it will be turned off if the work rate drops. I don't see a problem, it humanises the teachers and lets the kids think they're being treated better.

Tantamount to abuse, making them listen to Bieber.

It depends on what work they are doing, playing music is fine and doesn't have to be classical, but I wouldn't play stuff they are going to stop working to sing along to.

I remember getting to listen to music while doing silent work as a special treat in junior school. I think as long as the music's not inappropriate and the children don't mess about then it's fine.
