Watching TV at school... Post Reply

Hi

I am just wondering if I am behind the times and this is something that is normal in schools now. Where my child is it seems to be the norm... Its drizzling with rain, have break inside watching CBeebies programmes. Its the end of the day and they are tired watch the same. During lessons watch cartoons of stories or Geraldine the giraffe ... At before / after school club watch TV...

I am not completely anti TV but am surprised at how its used and just wanted to know if it is the way things are done now...

Thanks..

I know it happens from reception up to year 2 the whole time... TV with clubs up to Year 6. Thank you!

I think the only time it's acceptable is:

1. if a teacher is ill
2. end of term

but I would be worried if it was something more than once a term!

I was unaware until my daughter came home saying she'd watched a movie at school during snack time and this is at EH private school (not that it should be any different anywhere!).
