  Case: youtube videos
Our school has a policy against watching netflix or youtube videos yet the teacher next door to me is always showing her students them. They are sometimes related to content standard but sometimes it is just to keep the students busy. We are just on the same grade level and are both first year teachers. What should I do? Say something to her that we have all heard several times or tell my team leader?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would just causally mention to her that you over heard some of the students talking about the use of YouTube in her classroom and that since this is against the school policy, you would hate for her to get in trouble. Maybe just the fact that she knows another teacher knows and that the students could be spreading this information along to other teachers may be enough for her to refrain from using these media sources.
