That's a good point, but truly.. are most kids going to be really watching it anyway? Maybe the ones who are really into politics or whatever, but I would think most kids are going to be doodling, whispering with their friends, etc. anyway..lol. I was surprised that lunch was actually much calmer at the middle school than in elementary school, but I attribute that to the seating arrangements. In our middle school and high school, they sit 7 kids per table. In elementary, the whole class is at one big picnic table type table. It's definitely a dull roar.

I guess, I'm thinking.. you can put it on, but you're not going to force them to pay attention no matter what the setting. A pre-recorded thing is probably a better idea, or something broadcast on Channel One. Distributing that would probably be more costly though. I guess there's no good solution for all schools.
