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

Do you let your kids have any fun at all?

Do they act out more because of the shows or do they act out because they’re the only kids not allowed to join in on normal kid stuff for this day and age? Also yeah I’d be more concerned about a teacher putting hands on kids :eyes::eyes:

You should have signed a release for any electronics. Most schools have them. But um… if the teacher is leaving bruises on kids why haven’t you pulled her out?

Because it entertains the children and the teachers don’t have to watch him all the time

My child will not be attending a school where teachers are getting rough with the kids, ESPECIALLY PRESCHOOLERS?! Forget about the YouTube & old town road. Pull her out before the teacher decides she wants to get rough with your daughter next!

Talk to her boss. This is not okay, ever. No preschooler should have free reign of YouTube ever and a parent’s wishes should never be ignored regardless of reason. Call a conference with her superior and bring documentation of dates and times including other parent’s statements and when and what you expressed to the teacher that this was not okay. This is horrible examples for the children to be learning…

Lotta negative comments. Wow. Well…you’re at school. So why have youtube. Especially in preschool?
Teachers have left bruises? Apparently most parents are not taking that seriously.
Old town road? Why is that even being played in school?
Like what kind of school is this?
Take the stick out your bum?
No. Question whether this is a school or a playdate. Yes.

Having fun? Doesnt require electronics. Having fun doesnt require old town road. There are so many ways of entertainment that is actually interacting.
This sounds like their at home rather than at school. If you allow it in your home cool. But why of all places should it be allowed in school. Tons of ways to entertain and thats your best go to?
I dont get it.

I am absolutely amazed at how many parents on here are okay with their preschoolers watching YouTube at all. It has been found time and again that adult content, even vulgarity has been spliced into clips. Not to mention that screens have been proven to have negative effects at that age versus books. If she wanted a screen to babysit her kid, she could save her money and lock her kid in a cabinet at work with a tablet. If she doesn’t want her kid watching this stuff, the teacher is not setting a good example to any of the kids by ignoring that. The bruises definitely need to be reported, but I have accidentally left one on my son by grabbing him to keep him from falling and busting his face open, so I can see where that may be a gray area concern versus the outright betrayal of trust where the electronics are concerned.

The more you shelter a child, the worse things will be.

Just because YOU don’t agree with something doesn’t mean it’s a problem. Some of theses comments are ridiculous, it’s what’s wrong with today’s society. If you don’t like what they are doing, except for the bruises, then keep your kid home and teach them. Your offended by how they run their room, but the mother standing next to you doesn’t have a problem with it so now what?

The school should be a place that aligns with how you want to raise your kids. If you can have her at home to kindergarten, I’d say do that. I might have missed it, what’s wrong with Peppa Pig? I may not know the information and it might help. Thanks

What the hell is wrong with either.

Pull her out. Why in the hell would you have your child in a school or day care where you know Teachers let them do things you don’t agree with and especially when you know they “get rough” with kids? Wtf!! The fact that you need advice on this blows my mind.

I’m with you on this one! We’ve had the same issue with Ryan’s World and Hobby Kids, honestly, just YouTube in general. Some of the behaviors that are mimicked are absolutely obnoxious and disrespectful. The screaming and “spoiled brat” attitudes are not tolerable.
Talk to the teacher. Talk to the pre-k director. If nothing is addressed then just let them figure it out first hand when your child starts acting out.

… so a teacher has left bruises on a child, told a child she was creepy for having normal feelings, undermined your authority by telling your child it is ridiculous they can’t watch specific shows - even after your child speaks up… I’m not sure why this place hasn’t been reported and shut down on the physical abuse basis alone. There is no way any kids should have to put up with that. Find somewhere more appropriate for your kids to go.

They need new teachers cause they should not be watching YouTube at school. There’s plenty of things the teachers can do with the kids but they must not be creative if they’re watching YouTube… I’d go up there and complain. I’ve never heard of this lol.

I totally get it. Imagine my surprise when I learned that my Kindergartner was allowed to play with iPads in class. The most technologically advanced thing she had prior experience with was a VTech kidizoom camera. I wasn’t happy about the iPads but I’d be pretty pissed if she were watching Peppa Pig (or Caillou​:face_vomiting:) too. Both shows have been banned in my house because they caused behavioral problems. Kids are monkey see, monkey do and I don’t like my children to act like little shits :woman_shrugging:

What’s wrong with Peppa Pig? I understand YouTube but Peppa seems pretty innocent.

If the curriculum is not to your satisfaction, pull your child, don’t expect everybody to cater around u or your child…but the bruises that’s a different story, I’d find out what’s going on there!

I would speak to the teacher and let them know what my rules are. My son has time limits on you tube he watches ryan toy review and i have no issues with his behavior but he also knows i dnt put up with bad behavior but if this was a real issue for me i would address it. My son is 5

Some parents are ridiculous! God help those kids when they get out there in the real world ! They do usually have u sign a waiver for internet access in school and u usually have between 1 to 3 kids that don’t want their kids doing fun school activities now these couple children now have to be escorted out of class and put in another class where they are feeling like smucks because they couldn’t join in with the rest of their class Now that’s sad !

That’s awful. If you have rules, the school should abide.

Peppa pig??? Really??? That is one of the most kid friendly shows out there. Bless

If there is someone to report the teachers to, report them.
You as a parent have rights in what you do and don’t want influencing your children teachers should respect that.

It’s more worrisome that you are more concerned about tv shows than (physical harm) towards children honestly.

Well I am personally a BIG woman. I’m 5’9 240 lbs and kinda loud and I sound just mean if I am not paying attention to the tone in my voice. So lemme say. I’d go straight up ratchet in this bitch and tell her. Let my kid come home 1 more time and tell me she watched peppa pig and you gonna be peppa pig. I would also let her know if MY KID came home with a bruise or she thought about treating my child any different I would call CPS CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND REPORT HER for child neglect. It’s neglecting her responsibility by sticking your kid in front of YouTube at the daycare/Preschool. And yes all my children went to daycare/pre school

Naw they wouldn’t have liked my child going to that school cuz all of these reason gave me a reason to pop up and act a fool … especially if they laid any body parts touch my fucking child they got me all the way fucked up and u to if ur mother instincts didn’t automatically kick in take it to the board and if the board isn’t doing anything u get the boys in blue and take them to court … cuz
