  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 not say anything because I feel you are both competent professionals and are more than aware that there are always consequences for not following directions/rules. I would leave this discovery up to your administrators.Plus, since you both are on the same grade level team, it would only cause problems if she or he found out you reported them.

Comments: I think that not saying anything would not be right in the situation. Why allow the other teacher to get in trouble when you could simply walk over and talk to her about the video usage?

Comments: I don't think this is helpful because keeping it to yourself could cause bigger problems in the future if you witness the teacher doing something else wrong. Being up front about it would be the most professional thing to do.

Comments: I agree with this. I wouldn't want to step on the other teachers toes, or involve yourself unnecessarily as it is not your responsibility to monitor the other teachers.

Comments: Well it may be true that they are both competent professionals, sometimes unfortunately people do have different opinions on what can and can't be done in the classroom and educational setting.

Comments: We as educators have an ethical responsibility to make sure our students get a quality education. While it's true that everyone involved is a professional, that doesn't mean that a teacher can take away education time for videos that do not relate to academics as far as we can tell.
