Selling to Kids Tips
Your Comments:The "nag factor" is a feeling you get when something keeps bothering or pestering you to do something or act on it. If you see a commercial for Mountain Dew, maybe the first time it doesn't make you want to drink one. But with each commercial you see about it, it starts calling your name and begging you to "do" something like drink their product. That is what would be called a "nagging feeling." So take it one step further and you could use that feeling to determine how much does a commercial "nag" you? Thus the term "nag factor."

What are your media dilemmas?
Your Comments:You have every right as a parent to help set up parameters and procedures at your child's school. If you have a PTA, you could take it that route. Make sure that when you go, you already have the solution in your hand to help push it along. How about creating a short form that would be sent home with students 2 to 3 days in advance of any movie being shown in class that has more than a "G" rating? Include on the form a place to write: name of movie, learning objectives, current rating of movie, and a place for parents to sign, and check a box saying yes or no. If the no box is checked, provide space for the parent to write in why they object to the movie. There are teachers with blinders on when it comes to movies that don't see why others would be uncomfortable with some movies being shown in their classrooms. As a teacher and parent, I understand where you are coming from.
