My daughters school is giving her access to youtube and I am not okay with this: Advice?

Why not homeschool? I would assume you have talked to the school and teacher.

Lol get over it!! Id be more concerned with the kid having a crush at such a young age…have more discipline at home maybe . peppa pig isnt bad

So the fact that your 3 or 4 year old is concerning herself with boys already isn’t an issue, but peppa pig is a real problem, huh? Alright? :roll_eyes:
Bottom line, if they don’t respect your wishes, however skewed they may be, and you’re paying them money for their services… Then I wonder, do you normally pay for a service that you’re unhappy with (besides comcast)? If the answer is no, then my question is… why are you still paying them?

I mean, there are waaaay scarier reasons not to send your kids to school than exposure to Peppa Pig.
If the teacher is abusive, obviously pull the kids out. But if Peppa Pig is the worst thing happening in your child’s life, I’d say they’re pretty lucky. Perspective, hun.

Old town road ? Yeah just to let you know controlling parents like you will make your children act out as young adults. And I mean they’ll do a lot of shit so choose wisely about that path you’re taking them on.

Shouldn’t they be receiving education and care instead of sitting in front of a screen watching those shows? :thinking:

I could understand daycare doing this, but why doesn’t preschool have something more educational? I personally let my daughter watch almost any cartoon, but I’m the type of person that what the parent says goes. I do understand it is sometimes unavoidable, but there are other problems with this conversation. Like her saying your daughter is creepy for liking a boy? Or how she reacted to her say she couldn’t watch it. The teacher could have addressed this with you and came up with a plan. Maybe she could draw or something in the back of the class while they watch it? I’d definitely talk to the teacher and just see what she says.

I would definitely be talking to the school and teachers. It’s your child and if you don’t want them watching certain shows, the school should be respectful of that.

You’re entitled to want certain things for your children and raise them the way you want as long as they aren’t being neglected. You need to talk to the teacher(s) first and foremost. Then if the situation isn’t resolved you go to superintendent. And/Or you pull them from that school and find a new one.

Suggest you pull her out and keep her sheltered until “real life” because you’re not going to be able to protect her from everything, that’s a ridiculous notion. Not trying to be a bitch but this is unrealistic and the shows (and song) aren’t even bad. I see no big deal in this and think you’re blowing it way out of proportion. But to each their own, I guess. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Is this a school or a daycare? My four year old goes to school and they have screen watch on certain days. They have a big projector, on bad weather days or when a sub is in, they watch Youtube (educational videos) and some nursery songs for about an hour. I don’t really see the big deal. If they were doing this all day, everyday then yes, switch…but in this era, it’s a thing…long as there is moderation and serving an educational purpose.

My grandson is also not allowed to watch Peppa Pig or PJ masks because he acts out more when he watches them. If you have told the school you don’t want them watching certain things and they continue to allow it you have to decide what is more important to you. I’m more concerned about the bruising of children, which seems to be an after thought for you…

If it bothers you and you don’t want them to allow it just kindly tell them it has come to your attention that kids are allowed to watch things you’re not ok with and that you expect your child won’t be watching them ping forward now that they are aware it’s not ok with you. Be ready to provide an alternate show you are ok with if needed.

If they continue to allow it after you’ve requested they don’t then decide if it’s worth pulling her for or not.

These kids have a long childhood ahead of them

I understand where your coming from. My children were not allowed to watch caillou or teletubbies. Unfortunately unless your gonna home school. Your child is going to see and learn alot of stuff in school your not gonna like. As the schools sometimes let them watch movies in class as well when in older grades (1-8).

  1. Drop it. It’s weird to not let kids watch tv shows that other kids watch.
  2. Report the teacher. Abuse is not okay.

Bruises on my child would warrant an immediate meeting with the director and if it happened again by the same adult then CPS would be called and my child would be removed from the preschool. As far as you tube and old town road have you spoken to the teacher and made your request known? My daughter came home singing old town road and I brought it to the teachers attention that was not appropriate to me and she made sure that the assistants allowing it were warned not to play it again even if other kids asked.

If your school is like most schools you have to sign an Internet release form stating that your child is allowed access to the Internet at school. If you have signed that then that means that you are in compliance with them allowing the kids to watch YouTube at school. However I think you should bring it up to the teachers that if they are going to be watching episodes of tv shows you don’t allow them to watch at home then your child needs to be given something else to do like homework or coloring. I don’t see how Peppa Pig is related to any school curriculum but the teachers need to work around the parents and not disregard a parents rules.

In kindergarten they use electronic devices as well… or the problem just because it’s YouTube?

I would pull my daughter out of school if they are not respecting your wishes about what you want YOUR child to watch the should be sending home a permission slip with each child asking what you would like your child to be watching they should have a list provided of child friendly shows and you decide what your child watches from that list

If you’re going to be this strict on something like this then you need to either keep the sheltered at home with you or find a new school that has no screen time. It’ll probably be a private school and you’ll be paying more.

Pull her out. Maybe you and some of the other parents could form a co-op of day care where each other’s values are respected. Turn them in for abuse of they are hurting children or bruising them. You can teach them yourself until kindergarten.

I’m more concerned about the bruises left on children then the shows. No one should be touching children like that.

The fact that the teacher laid a hand on ANY child, I would be bringing it to the attention of EVERY administration member. That is unacceptable. Especially with such small children. The fact that she’s telling your child HER opinions about what you do and do not allow is also concerning. That aside, your child is going to encounter everything that you don’t allow at home, in public school. So if you are that upset by it, I would start homeschooling. My kids learn about plenty of stuff that I don’t particularly like but that’s because other people let their kids do and watch and listen to literally anything. It’s just a fact that you have to accept when you have your child in school. And not just public school honestly. Any school.

Um, I would be more worried about the physical and mental abuse…not sure how old your child is, but yes, never heard of a school allowing internet access (you tube) without parental permission. Sounds like they are using it as a babysitter. I would definitely pull my child.

Unmmm if the teacher is talking badly to your child, calling her creepy and leaving bruises on others I would pull her out. That can ruin her self esteem. As far as youtube goes I don’t have much of an opinion on that because my kids do watch youtube.

Kids having a crush is NOT concerning. They don’t even know what that is so the mom’s on here saying something about that are just weird themselves :roll_eyes: but for your question, I’d pull your daughter out. It’s clear the teacher doesn’t care what the child is or isn’t allowed to watch. Find a place/person you can trust to follow through with your rules. Side note: I would’ve pulled my child out the second I found out a teacher there was putting their hands on a child, unacceptable.

Why not address someone higher. I can understand peppa pig, I didn’t allow my oldest to watch Caillou for the same reasons-behavior.

I just want to say I’m totally with you on not allowing Peppa pig. I absolutely refuse to let my children watch that trash the way she talks to her father is disgusting. My stepdaughter loves Peppa but she knows it’s not something we watch when she’s at our house. What children watch is a huge determining factor in their behavior.

The fact everyone is missing here is she AS THE CHILDS MOTHER, has chosen certain things are not acceptable for her children. You as parents of your own children need to mind your opinion. She asked for advice not your opinions on her parenting.

As for the mass deciding what is right and you either suffer or remove, what planet are you living on? If your child can’t participate in something, the teachers should either find a way to include or find something similar the child can do until they can move on. If that child is being g bullied because of it, the staff needs to nip that shit in the bud. No kid should be bullied period. Regardless of the reason.

As for my advice, if you talk to management and nothing is going to change, remove your child until you can find somewhere else they can go. You should not have to sacrifice your morals because of someone else’s inability to properly teach young children

The teacher is a weirdo.

My daughter loves peppa and she doesn’t act out at all. As far as the teachers leaving bruises, I wouldn’t have my child in that school.

If this is an issue, then I would highly encourage you research private schools for K-12! Children are exposed to many many different situations, and all kinds of friends in public schools.

The leaving a bruise on a child and calling a child out of name would be a concern for me. The controlling parental crap Idk what to tell ya.

As for the gettong rough and leaving bruises on the kid, that should be reported asap! However for the other about watching the shows, is that because of the viral kreepy girl that came on that show one time and other shows as well? Or is it just all peppa pigs, because i have sit down and watched several with my neice and they are okay cartoons, i mean compared to what we grew up on, like for example woody wood pecker was a horrible show, he did stuff like hang himself and shoot himself in the head and all kinds of other stuff. I am just saying i dont think fhey are that bad, but regardless whatever the parents says is what should be done! NOONE SHOULD SAY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE PARENT SAYS UNLESS THE CHILD IS IN DANGER!!!

FYI Peppa pig is not an American show. The way children are raised in other countries are not the same as here. Also if you have that big of a problem with the preschool you need to pull the child. Preschool isn’t a requirement. My daughter watches Peppa and she doesn’t act out.

That said, follow your gut. Period. In our district, even pre schools, you have to approve computer access and list anything your kids can’t watch. Even class movie day, I get a permission slip.
Def say something. Look into an At Home Day Care that can work with her and prep her for kindergarten. There’s SAHM looking to fill time and help out other mom’s.

And you’re just getting started! Teach her yourself then. Problem solved.

I don’t think what they are letting your child watch should be your first concern. If your child is not safe and they are leaving bruises on children that should be your concern. If it is a state run preschool there is a director above these “teachers” I would take my concerns to. If its private owned I would go to the owners. Do whats best for your child if you are seriously concerned pull her

If you pay for the pre school. You should have rights to what you want going on with your kid. If you feel strongly about not wanting your child to watch that stuff. Then that’s your decision. I would go talk to the school and share your concerns with someone other then the teacher. Especially if you’ve already told her how you feel. She should def be informed of what your concerns are, if she doesn’t already know. Since all other pre schools are full I would go about it this way. Especially if your child likes to go. I would 100% make it known how you feel and what you expect. You are the parent and every decision made for your kid is ultimately up to you!

As for the marks on your child… if you need th internets help peppa pig isn’t your biggest concern!

I’m more concerned that the teachers are out of line and putting their hands on the kids. That’s enough to pull them and put them in a new school. But if you wanna shelter your kids from the popular shows all the kids are watching it’s gonna be nearly impossible. They’re going to be exposed one way or another. Homeschool if you want control of what your child is exposed to at that level. But you should also feel comfortable speaking to the teachers if you’re unhappy with your child’s education path. Communication.

Why cant people talk to people instead of going straight to pulling them out. Go talk to a teacher/principle/director and then if things still dont get worked/resolved out then leave. But there are some songs that are turned into kid friendly songs. (Kids bop)
BUT you are also the parent and you do what you need to do for you and your family! Only you can decide what is “right” for your family.

I’d put my foot down. I don’t allow them to watch certain shows and I expect the school to abide by my wishes. If the teacher told me they still will I’d go to the princes pal. No one will tell me what my kid can and cannot do besides their parents. On certain topics, sure. But something I highly believe in then no. They will listen.

My son was on a field trip in the fall with his class. His teacher video taped my son’s class singing “Old Town Road” on the bus. It was posted on an app the school uses to communicate with parents. She thought it was adorable, as did many of the other parents, mostly mothers. I looked up the lyrics, and I was pretty disappointed that a bunch of 6 year olds were singing a song that talks about cheating and tits, and she thought it was cute lol so I feel you…to a point ish…I honestly can’t wait to get my kids out of the school system they’re in.

I was a substitute teacher and I’ll never do it again. Teachers were a big problem also along with the students.

Go above the Teacher’s head and document everything in writing also if this is a state certified program the roughness needs to be reported to the licensure board

I don’t think that’s right you should have to sign and approve any computer/electronic device at least that’s how it where I am.

Umm literally they are kids shows that have to be approved by YouTube to be posted. I’m sure they are being monitored too. That being said i don’t like Peppa pig only cause it leaves me talking in British accent for the rest of the night but my kids find it calming for the most party by how slow paced the cartoon is compared to others like loud house. If you have an issue with Peppa of all the cartoons I can assure you won’t like many cartoons out there now. It’s a preschool. Let them be but I would say something to the teachers. They probably are not gonna change up a routine that works for your kids and many others they are caring for to please you but the comment about don’t be silly you can watch this is undermining your rule as a parent. That being said you are trusting a preschoolers words over an adult if you go in all mad and defensive so just talk to the teachers. Very obvious you have no other choice but that or stay at home with a trusted adult

Way to pull you child out of touch with social situations, no offence but not wanting to have your kids exposed to something that is so mainstream is silly.

I totally understand how you feel about YouTube! Also for me it was caillou that my daughter wasn’t allowed to watch. He is so whiney and almost always gets his way lol!
My kids used to be able to watch a few YouTube videos and I noticed quite the attitude and we cut down YouTube time and attitudes changed and we started letting my daughter have a little bit more time and she got her same attitude back. She’s 4. So we are just going to not let her watch it. I think it’s different for each kid but for some kids it’s teaches them unreal expectations of how life should be and when life doesn’t go that way or they don’t get 100 blind bags to open then it’s not fair… I don’t think kids should be feeling that way at such a young age.

To answer your question, the staff at the preschool should respect parents wishes… NO means NO…

Let children be children … seriously

Id be more worried about the bruises… id of pulled my own child out when the other kid was left bruised by a teacher. No way would i leave my kid with a teacher who can injure any child.
