In Our Schools - What the children learn
I prefer education to entertainment, so I'm unequivocally "with dad" on this one...
At StarPulse.com, Jim Fitzgerald of the Associated Press writes:
"PEEKSKILL, N.Y. (AP) - He doesn't want to be an ogre about it, but the father of a fifth-grader thinks teachers are wasting time when they show movies in class - and if the film is a bootleg, he says, 'That's a really terrible lesson.'
Tim Trewhella, 46, said his 10-year-old daughter reported that her class watched the animated movie 'Shrek the Third' on Tuesday and recognized it as the fairy-tale hit still showing in theaters."
