Your entitled to parent how you want but outside of home it’s hard to control everything. My kids watch both of those shows and ryan is actually educational if you watch the right ones. I would say if you dont agree with the schools way of doing things maybe homeschool or private school so you have more say in what they do. It’s not fair to the other kids to be punished because of something you dont allow your kids to do. This is not to be mean. Just give you suggestions

If you are uncomfortable with the way this preschool is, then say something or pull your child. You are the parent.

You do what you think is best for your kid! Our schools won’t even let the high schoolers have access to YouTube :joy: They even blocked cool math games :roll_eyes: (it was dumb) but i Dont let my boys watch peppa pig or Ryan’s world or whatever it’s called either. So don’t feel bad. The song, wouldn’t bother me just cause it’s a fun dance song. The kids don’t understand the drinking part of the song. But YOU ARE THE PARENT. You get to say yes or no to stuff. Who cares why you say no to things. And the teacher should respect that. If you wanted to say no they can’t watch it just cause you felt like saying no, guess what, the answers no :joy:. Sucks that the kid would be punished by pulling her out and away from her friends. But you don’t really need preschool. And for that hassle, it’s not worth it. I’m surprised she’s letting them watch anything, they’re supposed to send home a permission slip asking parents if they can watch stuff. Or in oklahoma we’re required to.

Are you kidding me, change day care, simple, if you don’t like it, what is stopping you?

Acadia Shannon this bullshit lmao

You are your child’s voice! Speak up!

My kids school used youtube for their music class. The thumbnail pictures of other videos showed bare breasts. I’m not sure if any of the little ones saw but I was extremely unimpressed, there are even more things to worry about with teachers using YouTube.

Talk to the teacher first and then the administrators in charge. If they do not listen, your child your decision on how to raise them. Report any violence or bullying

I’m curious as to what’s wrong with peppa pig?

I would just let it go.

The school board typically approves the programs first. And if you have concerns, you should take them up with the teacher. Not get others opinions. But have you actually watched any of these programs that you don’t allow your child to watch?

You had to sign a form which states that they are able to use internet and will use internet and if you are not okay with the school curriculum maybe you should start keeping your daughter at home and have her homeschool! Your daughter is treated equally in the school and if you want her away from the computer you always have a choice to keep your daughter at home and put her in a bubble but just remember that she will grow and she will be an outcast! Don’t understand why people want to stop children from actually enjoying school! We used to be able to celebrate Christmas and Halloween in school and for some of us poor kids it was a real treat for us to get candy or cupcakes for those special days! Now the school has to regulate that we are not allowed to send the kids in there outfits cause the other kids are not allowed to celebrate! Like if you don’t want your child to be part of the celebration then keep them home because I’m sorry Susan but when my child has a birthday guess who’s bringing cupcakes for the whole class! Me! It’s not my fault you feel that you don’t want to celebrate your kids birthday!

I dont understand why a preschool would even remotely need to have any access to any technology like that.

But if I found out he was watching that at school I’d be livid.

I really doubt its “access to youtube” it’s probably a tool the teachers have access to that they let the kids watch sometimes. Imo I think you’re being a touch dramatic about that subject. There is a kids bop of that song, the kids in my class listen to it all the time because they ask for it. We use youtube for short clips, read aloud books and dance/play along videos. I don’t think your personal parenting (ie what you allow her to watch) should affect the entire class. The teacher probably uses it sparingly for times when her focus is elsewhere like after nap when she is putting away cots or when she has to do diapers or something like that. If you really feel thats strongly ask her not to play it or for your child to be sat somewhere else when it plays.

Your bigger issue should be with the teachers leaving bruises. That should be brought to the director.

Details aside. If the school is not a fit for your parenting style… Then they should not be there. Make other arrangements, stay home, find a co-op where you can be more involved. It is much easier to be :100: in charge if you are in fact the adult in charge. Otherwise, don’t try to baby proof the world, world proof your baby​:purple_heart:

Speak to the school first, but definitely put your foot down. We are not a YouTube family either and I would be livid. Those shoes have NOTHING to do with education and there is no reason for a preschooler to be on YouTube in school. My preschooler has never even seen a computer or tablet in her school, nor did my older two (now in 2nd and K) and they are doing just fine after learning through play based instruction. YouTube is completely inappropriate at school when it not being used in an educational manner.

I would pull her out for the simple fact that they wont abide by your parenting rules. The teacher that is rough with kids and has left marks shouldnt even be a teacher if that is a true story. It’s probably not the ideal thing to pull her out of school but shes still young and you can do daily lessons with her at home. They sell learning books/work packets by grade at the dollar tree near me, I’m sure you can find something similar at a walmart or online and work with her on that until you can enroll her somewhere else.

Just curious, is this a public or a private school?

As far as the internet access issue: speak with whoever is in charge at the school and ask that your child not be allowed to access YouTube. You may want to check because if you signed any paperwork at the beginning of the year you may have signed something that says your child is allowed to go online. I can understand being upset because ultimately you should be the one to determine what your child is allowed to have access to, but most places wont let your child have access to things you dont want them to have access to.
As far as the other issues: I would be speaking with someone in charge or pulling my child from there. That is NOT ok!! Ita just preschool- you arent LEGALLY obligated to send them.

You could try and put your foot down but it sounds like they are crappy teachers. Pull her out. There is no reason they’re allowed to watch YouTube at school or songs that aren’t meant for children. I wouldn’t leave my daughter in that school. Wait to enroll her into kindergarten. Also if there’s been past reports of physical abuse towards the kids I would constantly be anxiety ridden that they’ll be put through that. No child should and while they’re at school you shouldn’t be worrying whether another adult will put their hands on your child.

… so you expect your kid’s teacher to make accommodations for each of the 20+ different kids in their class to make sure every rule they have at home is being followed in class? That’s not only unreasonable, it’s ridiculous. Do you want your child to feel left outI and make them the weird one? If you want the rules to be identical to your house then home school your kids.

School is going to be a wide eyed awakening for you as they get older, the things I hear my first grader say is just astonishing. Also in prek they were taking tests online and using online based learning as well as hands on, the world we live in is electronics based.

Wait…what’s the issue with Ryan’s World and Peppa Pig? Lol you can control everything that’s going to happen in your kids life.

However, I get we all parent and teach different. More schools are using electronics for teaching and such. But if they cant respect your wishes. They shouldnt be watching your kid. I get preschool is a but young on a crush, but IT HAPPENS. Now, if she was being inappropriate and forcing him to hold hands and kiss or such. Then I get being “creepy.”

Lastly, if they are bruising kids, we’d be having a problem.

Seems like you have the ability to pull her till kinder. Then pull her.

On one hand you can’t expect the whole school to not do something because of your sheltering rules. It’s not like they’re watching game of thrones with sex and violence is peppa pig. On the other the teacher being handsy is a point of concern. If you’re making the choice to shelter your children from something that is very common in the lives of others then you’re probably better off homeschooling.

On the bruises you need to take them out bc the youtube isn’t important compared to that also they will probably end up watching it eventually

Some of these parents are being down right rude. Not every parent of a PRESCHOOLER allows them to watch YouTube or certain cartoons and that is the parents right and personal preference. We don’t need to bash her because she doesn’t allow things that you all do. Everyone parents differently. I say if they aren’t following tour rules to pull her out. I wouldn’t want my 2 and a half year old going to a preschool that let them watch YouTube either

I’m sorry but you sound a little over controlling in some areas. It’s a different time, kids are raised around electronics and media it’s something they are going to be exposed to around every corner and trying to unreasonably limit their access to it is going to put them out among their peers. Of course a teacher doesn’t want to separate your child from the group just because you burden them with strict rules at home. That being said the teachers crossing boundaries and especially the one known to get physical with the children -and is still some how not fired- is a huge concern, I would have lead with that over YouTube… This says that that no one is going to take your distaste for Peppa Pig seriously if they don’t take child abuse seriously. It seems your hands are tied though with no other schools having an opening. If I were you I would let the child finish the year there and enroll them somewhere else during open enrollment at another school, just be quick about it so you don’t risk your babies having to spend another year in a possibly dangerous / abusive environment.

Preschool isn’t mandatory. If you don’t like how they do it, don’t send her. That said, I guarantee you if she’s going to public school she’s going to see kid content on school iPads/computers even in kindergarten. There’s also a Kidz Bop version of Old Town Road that removes all of the inappropriate material, so how do you know they’re not listening to the (perfectly fine) clean version?
As others have said, the big red flag here isn’t the technology or age appropriate shows (Peppa Pig is designed for preschoolers, whether you like it or not), it’s the fact that abuse is going on and the offending teachers haven’t been removed. You should’ve pulled her already if she’s exposed to those teachers (which it sounds like she is) and reported them to the state.

YouTube should not even be accessible at a school for kids period. Their should be district blocks on it so they can’t access certain content when they search for it. Period. I know big districts have these rules. If you’re concerned find a school that has these blocks in place. I wouldn’t want my kid searching around on YouTube either at that young age.

You can and should bring it up to the teacher in writing and in person. No action-go to the next level(administration). No action-go to the next level.
