So I’m having some issues with my daughter’s preschool. To start off, my kids are not allowed to watch Peppa pig or Ryans toy review, Well it recently came out that at school the kids are allowed access to youtube (other parents confirm this). It turns out that the school is letting my child watch the shows that we DON’T want our kids watching (we notice are kids act out more when they watch these shows). My daughter told her teachers she isn’t allowed to watch them and their response “that’s ridiculous; you can watch those shows.” I know some might think my kid is making it up, but these teachers also let our kids listen to the old town road song (again, other parents have said their kids said the same thing). My question is, should I just let it go, or should I put my foot down and say something? This isn’t the first issue we have had with these teachers (some parents have pulled their kids out of the school because one of the teachers is constantly stepping out of line and even gets rough enough with the kids it left bruises on one) This same teacher even told my daughter she was creepy for basically have a crush on one of the boys in class we’ve called the other preschools in our area and they all said they are not taking any new students. So now, it seems I can either let her stay at this iffy school and try talking to the teachers that don’t want to listen or pull her out till kindergarten.
What’s wrong with pepper pig
What kind of preschool is this
I would let it go cause she will get made fun of and singled out
Parents like you is why they can’t watch a movie and have parties at school. Parents like you is what ruins it for others.
Omgosh. Is this really a issue, this is in ever school in the country. If you want your kids that’s sheltered then home school them.
Doesn’t matter anyone else’s opinion on what your allowing your kid to watch and not watch. My kid isn’t allowed on YouTube at all. I would go to the school
Go to the principal and explain that certain activities at school is compromising rules at home. Its just like certain religious views. If its not allowed at home then the schools have to follow your rules. Just remember that making the school follow these rules will make it so that your children will be left out. Could cause social conflict with making friends.
You can’t report this to someone higher up than the teacher? This is crazy.
I would kick up the biggest stink ever, i to am like u and dnt allow peppa pig and also agree that nonsense causes them to act out. And why is that teacher still working there if they bruised a child, thats disturbing. Ur child ur rules
My son loves that song 
peppas a little bitch and Ryan’s voice goes right through me so I’d be raging to
Definitely say something. Peppa pig encourages bad behavior, because no morals are taught
You do what you want. Bottom line is that she will act out with or without Peppa Pig. You are the parent. Not sure if you can dictate what is shown in class unless a permission slip was sent home and you were made aware of it. If it is that serious then speak to them but understand that you are responsible for your child. Not a kids show.
You are the parent. You choose what your child is exposed to pull your kid out if they dont respect your rules. Find another school. Your child your rules.
Switch schools. Why are you paying for her to be on YouTube. I don’t agree with it either, I don’t like nick jr shows at all or YouTube. My daughter learned old town road this summer. I was really pissed bc her camp was $1438 to the dollar. I didn’t play that song once. But after seeing how happy it makes her and how EVERY CHILD at her school knows it by heart, I let it go. Go to the schools in person say you’re really having an issue with this school. Good luck.
You should’ve stated what the issue you have with it is so we can get a better understanding. Your child, YOUR RULES, but I am curious if anything else besides them acting out is going on, do you just not want them to have screen time yet? You’re mom and they should listen to you, id find another preschool or go talk to someone above them.
A teacher left bruises on a child? I teach prek. If I ever touched a student in anger my director would fire me, and rightfully so. I’d pull her.
Why are preschool kids watching YouTube in school in the first place? They should be teaching them through play, not sitting them in front of a screen. Also it doesn’t matter what their values are or what they think is ok or not. If a parent says no, it means no. They need to respect your wishes. You might wanna pull her out.
There are bigger issues to deal with than this. I would either let it go or if you really want your children sheltered that much then home school. Schools are not going to listen about something like this as it’s not a big issue, and lots of schools have electronic learning now.
I think you’re being absolutely ridiculous. It’s parents like you that raise school shooters. Poor kid. Can’t have a life. Gonna turn 18 and do all the shit you didn’t want her to. Believe me, Ryan’s toy review and fucking peppa pig is the least of your worries… good luck in the future… you gonna need it.
I said what I said.
Millennial parenting at it’s finest. Sensitive about EVERYTHING. Geez.
I mean it’s your kid your rules 
if you don’t want them to watch something then the school should respect that and make them watch something else if it’s “tv time” or whatever. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with pepper pig but your the parent so you will surely have your own reasons as to why their not aloud to watch.
Pull her. Pre-k isn’t required. No teacher has the right to bruise or name-call. And YouTube isn’t for pre-k children.
Is this a preschool like day care or public pre-school?
That makes a huge difference.
If its a public pre-school then go and talk to the teacher first then the principal. If its more of a daycare you can try to talk to them but you’ll probably just have to let it go.
And for the record i DO get it. Pj masks is banned here (my son’s behavior gets out of control when he watches it) and i don’t let him watch YouTube very often.
Homeschool your daughter then
Home school her then
There’s actual educational videos on YouTube. You’re aware of this right? Before “freaking out” I would find out what it is they play for the kids or allow them to watch.
This makes me laugh personally but if it bothers you that much say something. At the same time though I don’t think I’d be paying a monthly bill for my kid to be watching peppa pig and Ryan’s toy review. It may be helpful to remind them they are educators and not babysitters, but at the end of the day it’s unlikely to harm your child.
You mean you dont want your kid to talk with a british accent? Well bollocks.
Pull your kid. Trusting them with your kid is important.
Have a conference with the head of the preschool with the teacher. Explain your wishes and that they are non-negotiable. There are safer alternatives than YouTube. If they won’t comply pull your kid out regardless, you can homeschool them until next year. Their attitude is atrocious.
I’m a preschool teacher and we listen to the kids bop old town road because the kids ask for it. But we dont play anything that isnt educational and even then it’s super limited. But like this week, kids have no intention of learning anything so we are more laxed with it. Peppa pig is something most kids stop and pay attention to so it can be a tool they’re using during times when teacher has to have their attention on something else. I’d talk to the director of the school about it if you feel you can’t talk to the teacher
And the bruising is absolutely not okay, they shouldn’t be handling kids in a way to leave bruises
Why would you even keep your child in a class where the teacher left bruises on another student.
Home school until kindergarten!
Also, kids dont act out from what they watch. They copy things they see every day for more than one hour. Shit that hapoens at home. My daughters are 3 and 6 and they watch what they want on houtube kids but they listen to me and hardly throw tantrums cause they know that it’s not tolerated but i will help them work thru it. So maybe its just you.
You don’t want to isolate your kid by making a big deal about it because they would just stop her while all the other kids still get to.
You should be comfortable with the ways and methods chosen to educate your child and if you are not you need to be very clear with the principal. They must respect a parents wishes
I mean I think it’s a little extreme to not let your kids watch kid shows🤷🏻♀️ just seems kind of excessive. Now a teacher getting rough with a kid is totally not ok. It sounds like you have a lot of problems I would look somewhere else if you’re that unhappy there
My kids learned old town road , from school. It’s a popular song so even if they didn’t listen to it at school your children are going to learn it either way . As for watching peppa pig at school not sure what advice to give you , I doght they watch it for long periods of time . I have noticed in our school they put something on at the end of the day for when the kids are done getting ready … I can’t stand peppa pig but I would rather that then Cailu mayday
If you don’t allow it then you don’t allow it. You should put your foot down. However, don’t wonder or question when your child is singled out or made fun of. They’re going to watch a peppa pig movie for nap time but they have to pull your child put and out them in another room. Just wait till they get older. Kids will notice. Honestly, if I were as strick and concerned about certian things like something so small like that then maybe I should pull my child out and homeschool them so they don’t ruin things for other children or get made fun of.
Agree or disagree I don’t care but the school should absolutely not be overriding what parents say period and honestly I’m confused about why you didn’t have to sign consent for YouTube
Our kids watched things in school we really didnt like either, but it’s part of school now. It’s most likely part of their free time. If you signed the permission slip for your child to use the devices than it is up to the school what they use them for.
Now of the rough teacher that is a completely different topic. If there is ANY employee at the school that is being rough enough to leave a mark on a child, it needs to be reported Right away.
Where we live there does NOT have to be a consent for children to watch childrens shows in a public preschool setting. Parents that dont want their children exposed to what’s considered the norm for most children opt to homeschool and shelter. In a class full of 20 children ONE student’s parents rules won’t dictate what the class does as a whole. The child is in the class to participate as a whole. If it needs to be separate shows, separate songs, separate experiences- than the whole environment of public education and public access isn’t for you
Honey if you you dont want your child doing certain things good for you! If you prefer her not to listen to nonsense music good for you! Stand up for your child because people say oh it’s just cartoons oh your being over zealous it’s just music do you and be that mom I stand with you because then it will be a word oh it’s just a word then it’s just a dance. Raise your child with morals and with a sense of right and wrong
What’s wrong with peppa pig.!?
It sucks that all daycares are full. To bad you didn’t live near Richardson/Garland my son’s daycare has openings. I wouldn’t want it even let my son watch those shows. I’m against Peppa pig myself. I’d say pull your child even tho that sucks. You have to do what is best for you and your child.
Really confused about what’s wrong with them listening to old town road?
I wouldn’t stop until that “teacher” was fired and working at subway. YouTube isn’t an educator. Teachers are lazy and want an easy paycheck. It’s absolutely pathetic they are teachers and do this. My daughter is being raised 100% without screens and I expect and will demand that her education is screen free. If a teacher can’t teach without it they shouldn’t be a teacher. Go and keep going until they’re fired simply removing your child isn’t enough as the teacher will keep doing this. Don’t stop fighting for what you know is right
You’re going to have to homeschool with this mindset. These are things that are considered “the norm” for kids to be into now. Every generation had their own things parents thought were weird.
What’s wrong with Ryan ? Just tell them that you do not want your child watching YouTube period and if they do not listen you will go to the head of the preschool
Talk to the principal & teacher. At the end of
The day you are her parent. When I had an issue on how a different teacher not even my sons teacher told how my son need it to use the bathroom because he was a boy and boys are much dirty when they use the bathroom. Best believe the next day I confronted the teacher about it and ever since that she didn’t tell my son anything anymore. I’m that parent if I don’t like something at school I confront it with no problem.
gasp! not Peppa Pig!!! The absolute horror!
Go to the director. I didn’t allow my kids to watch frozen and when the teacher told me they were going to show it I told her my kids can’t. They let them go to another class to “play” that day (with my permission).
Pre school isn’t mandatory anyways. If you haven’t resolved the YouTube issue with the teacher/principal then pull her out.
I understand you because I’m the same way with my boys.
If the school is not aligned with your views, pull her out. But I think you’re being too stuffy.
If your kids are around other kids they’re going to be exposed to stuff you’re not going to approve of eventually. It’s just the reality of it. The only way as stated in a previous comment, to control 100% what your child is exposed too is to home school them. Talking to the teachers about this issue will only make things worst if this teacher is as bad as you claim she is. I can only see this becoming confrontational and nothing good coming from it. If she’s abusive as you claim mentioning it to her may cause her to lash out at your child when you’re not around.
What kinda preschool is your kid in that they’re watching YouTube ?? I’ve never heard of such a thing and find it hard to believe…
If you want to shelter your kids in that way try homeschooling.
YouTube kids videos have been having some scary scenes hidden in it 
be very careful with it !!
Welcome to the new world. There is internet. 🤷 Your kid is going to find it out some way or another.
I love how this is supposed to be here to get help to things we may or not know how to handle properly but everytime I see people being ridiculed for their questions this is her child if she doesn’t want her watching something that’s HER decision who are you people to tell her she’s too sensitive just bc your nonchalant self let your kids do what they want… but to answer your question pull her out! They don’t respect your rules plus why tf are they watching YouTube instead of learning not to mention you said a teacher left bruises on a kid before that right there would have been my go head to leave
Peppa Pig & Ryan?
She probably sees and learns more negative actions from her classmates. You should probably consider homeschooling.
My ? Is, why are you paying someone to post your child up and watch tv all day. Children learn thru play not watching tv.
As if people are laughing… I would be pissed. I have 9 kids and I am struggling with this too. Feel like I a losing this battle! I don’t like YouTube for my 8 youngest kids. I don’t like social media, roblox or fortnite. I don’t allow a lot of movies that are unsuitable either. I also don’t like the school giving my kids candy and gum as rewards. Seems like we don’t have a say anymore
No i didnt like mine doing this and there nursery did the same now i carnt get rid of peppa the pig snd the reason i dont like it is becsuse the character has a horrible attitude
Pull the stick out of your ass sml
An adult is bruising children. Screw the YouTube video, that is a much bigger problem. Pull her.
There is supposed to be a form you have to sign before your child is even allowed to use the internet.
Pull her from all schools and home school her you realize you are about to ruin your kids life right? You realize that she will be made fun of! You realize that she is going to learn this stuff one day anyway right! And if you are blaming a show for the way your kids act you are definitely not parenting right🤷 you are the type of parent who wants to hold your child back because you don’t want her watching anything!
Am I the only one shocked at the responses of some of these parents when it comes to the level of some sheltering their children?
First thought is what’s wrong with either of those shows?? That’s kinda odd to me. Second, try looking for a daycare with a good preschool program. My son was in one and they taught a bot of everything including Spanish and sign language.
I would pull her out, trust your instincts
My daughter’s preschool only does youtube for the songs. Just take her out if you’re concerned. My problem these days is my preteen getting on friends phones and watching inappropriate things that way. She already got in trouble at school for playing online games, talking to a stranger and trying to set up a way to continue to talk to that stranger. So good luck. My advice, home school.
My daughter is in highschool now and EVERY SINGLE YEAR we are required to sign a consent for the kids to have any access to internet. When they are going to show a movie or require a youtube video we are informed again and allowed to have our child excused from participating.
When I taught preschool we always informed parents when we would be showing a movie to the kids (usually it was something to do with our curriculum) or a fun movie so they had the option of not having their kids participate. I don’t know why you were not asked to sign something or maybe you did and didnt read every thing you signed?
We have to sign permission slips for internet access in our district.
You are NOT going to be able to control their environment for the rest of their lives. You need to learn how to accept this. Rather than pitching a fit about them watching these shows every child watched and having behavior issues… tackle the issues head on. Teach them how to handle them selves in situations they aren’t accustomed to. They are going to be going further and further into the rest of the world as times goes on. They need to learn composure and what is appropriate and what is not. It’s your job to teach them this. Don’t be lazy and avoid it. Sheltered kids are the ones that have a hard time adjusting into adulthood. It’s 2020. It’s our job to prepare our children.
If you feel it’s not right say something
Unfortunately this is how daycares and schools are. I had to deal with this everywhere my kids went also.
Lol welcome to 2019 brah
Maybe you should look into home schooling your kids. If not then go to the school and talk to the teacher and or go to the school board and i think you make a grievance a report on the teacher.
My question is: why is your daughter at this school?
Any preschool that had my child watching TV shows and YouTube as part of their day would be an ex daycare. Start over somewhere else.
THIS IS PRESCHOOL?! Wtf
Pull her out & do preschool at home. You have a reason for a not allowing this. And the fact they went around what you want? Yeah that’s a no.
I don’t allow my son to watch Ryan, Paw Patrol, barney, Peppa Pig or Caillou. So I understand!
When a parent says No. Its a no.
Have fun sheltering your kids. Might as well stay at home and do it how you want to. Peppa pig isn’t bad at all. Old town road isn’t bad. Grow up.
Peppa pig is not only on the internet but it’s on the pbs rotation,too. Are you sure she’s watching it on the internet? There’s also dvds. My 3 yr old loves it (and Blippi) just like my oldest loved Maisey and my middle loved blues clues. I think you’re weird for this being such a big deal to you.
You should remove your child and find a new school for her.
I would remove her from the school - if the teachers aren’t listening to the kids or their parents and are being rough enough to leave bruises they should be shut down in my opinion - if it’s acceptable to you then don’t allow it at all or it will be a conflicting matter between school and home - home rules override what they want your child to do in school against your better judgement.
I’d pull her out they not supposed to be watching YouTube in pre school and if that teacher still there then it not safe for ur child the moment I heard a student was physically assaulted by a teacher my daughter would of been out that school.
Your child your rules. Pull her out and go off on the school. Pathetic you’re paying money for someone to use YouTube as a crutch to watch your child. Fuck that. Also someone’s abusing children??? File a damn police report call the bbb on them something!
YouTube kids is different than YouTube. The adult controls the content
It is nearly unavoidable. We took away internet access via chromebook through the school at one point due to some inappropriate stuff we found. Well…kids have friends who have unlimited data who have phones, who have tablets, who let friends use their stuff. During this short lived consequence our son ended up creating pinterest, setting up a youtube account all through a friend.
The reality is you should homeschool your children if you are as concerned as you are about internet access.
Homeschool her so you can have a full control over your kids. If you do not allow YouTube because your kid acts out after watching these shows then you have a bigger problem at hand. Is she that naive that is that easily influenced with things that she sees online?
You haven’t even discussed the issue yourself with the teacher. You’re letting the mouth of your child do the work. Maybe start there. Kids say a lot of things. Maybe your request would be taken seriously if you handled it like an adult and not like a child. If your request is ignored than you can chose an alternative to the preschool or chose to stay.
What school is this? I wanna go there that shit sounds lit! Stop sheltering these kids and let them be great guide them and allow them to think for themselves. Y’all wonder why people don’t know how to adult now. People kill me trying to create perfect children. Children make mistakes young and we correct them so that they don’t go out making childish mistakes when they get grown. You can’t always prevent life for a kid. You have to let them off the leash at some point.
You cant control what the teacher is doing with the children at school/daycare/kindy.
What are they supposed to do? Exclude your child every time the others are allowed to watch some YouTube, do you really want that to happen to your child?
I get that you’re the parent and your voice matters, but its not viable to exclude your child if you feel that’s best take her out and go on the wait list for the others 
It’s stupid my kids watched that and then some and are fine
Are they an interest based daycare? If so, this may be because the biggest interest in the room is Peppa Pig, or most of the children may be asking for old Town road to be played. Before jumping to conclusions i’d ask what’s going on. I doubt they’re constantly watching YouTube and there’s a reasonable explanation.
Is this a school or a daycare? Either way I would find a new one.
