My daughter just finished her first year of high school. Believe me when I tell you, she watched some kind of movie just about every day.
She watched “Lifetime” movies in English class, animated cartoons (Lady and the Tramp twice), and movies she’d come home and tell me I’d never approve of.
I emailed the principal about this and never even got a response.
I didn’t realize it was going on for the first 6 weeks or so, so next year, I will keep track by asking her every day. I’ll be calling teachers and asking them to explain the educational value of these stupid movies.
It’s no wonder the kids are graduating without being able to read.

They were showing entertainment films once a week in welding class. That was the only class my homeschooler was taking. I was flabbergasted by the sheer sillines of such an activity in a welding class.
