If so - that's just plain developmentally wrong IMO. But like the teachers showing the Obama pledge video w/o viewing it first or having the administration approve it - there are all kinds of things going on out there in the ed realm which could be done better.

And so it goes...

Would you recommend the careful limiting of media exposure to those younger than 6th graders?
(Serious question)

There's no cable tv or internet in my home, mainly because of an abundance of children under the age of 12.
Just wondering what your professional opinion as an educator is.
