on wednesday. I agree with all of the "rules" they are setting forth for me as a parent in my own home. One I am having a problem with. They are asking me to sign a contract which states that i will not allow my child to watch television, play video games or watch movies during the week except for about 20 minutes a day. I am refusing to sign the contract because as an individual I find it disturbing that the public school system thinks it can tell me what i can do in my home with my child. Or what my child can or cannot do outside of the confines of there particular school house. As a responsible parent of course I limit my childs exposure to television and video games, because it is my choice to do so, and my opinion that it can be detrimental if watched in excess.
I am refusing to sign on mere principal, just as I refused to sign a statement stating that I would never send my child an unhealthy snack to eat at school. Again mine and my childs choice.
What is your opinion
