  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!)
I would say see what the videos are! My CT uses Brain Pop a lot because the videos come with quizzes, so she could be using different resources. If you find out the videos are YouTube or Netflix, then I would talk with her privately before discussing with the team because maybe she has a reason or needed an extra reminder. Finally, if she keeps showing the videos after you talk, then it could be worth bringing to the team.
