  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 standards but sometimes it is just to keep the students busy. We are both on the same grade level and are both first-year teachers. What should I do? Should I say something to her that we have all heard several times or tell my team leader?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, you need to make sure that they are in fact YouTube and Netflix. Nowadays there are many different websites that include videos for the lesson. Are those websites blocked by your school or just suggested not to use? I feel like administration should already be aware of this, as they are required to check in on classes every once in a while. I would bring it up casually, since you are not trying to get her in trouble. My suggestion would be to say "hey I have noticed you use a lot of manipulatives in class like visual aids and videos - what website do you use? I would like to explore my options since we aren't allowed to use youtube."

Comments: Clarification beforehand is the best thing to do. An accusation that’s untrue will only cause animosity. Once sure, I think it should be brought up with the teacher directly first.

Comments: I feel this is the best solution because it gives both parties the opportunity to share honestly in a non hostile environment, leading to personal growth. If the other teacher is using school allowed video aids, this conversation could be informative and improve ones teaching!
