Parent reviews for CNN 10

I have been showing this program to my 7th and 8th grade Social Studies classroom for the last few years, since Channel One went defunct.

At first I was hesitant to show the program since it has "CNN" in the title, and I live in the middle of the Bible Belt. I should say I'm a conservative Christian, and I'm very sensitive to content inappropriate for kids. I have three kids of my own, and my wife and I are very careful about what our children are exposed to. I will say this, without any reservations, that CNN10 is the most kid appropriate true news program out there that is truly unbiased. After watching many episodes of CNN10, I realized that it's content and commentary is much less liberal than Channel One was. CNN10 literally has no agenda, conservative or liberal, which is truly refreshing.

I have caught some flack from some parents because the name of the program includes "CNN". I understand their concerns, as CNN is very liberal. But not CNN10.

I have asked my complaining parents if they have ever watched any episodes of CNN10, and they mumble around and say something like, "If it comes from CNN, it can't be any good." I suspect the same from the reviewers on this site who give it one star and say things like, "It's full of violence and has a liberal agenda. " Nothing could be further from the truth. CNN10 is truly the best unbiased news program available for students.

I have been watching CNN10 with my 2 daughters (age 11 and 14) for several years now as part of our homeschooling, and I find it to be a good source for them to know about major current events. I often have them share what they learned from the show at dinnertime, so they get practice narrating what they have watched. I like how sometimes the show break downs big issues and describe the history and/or basics of the issue in a way that is easy to understand...like Brexit, what is an electoral college, etc... It helps teach geography, as it often shows a map of where the event is taking place. Also enjoy the upbeat special interest stories the show has been including more often. It is definitely less violent than a regular news show, and less depressing.

We learned about CNN10 from our 6th grade son, who watches it every day in his social studies class. Since starting to watch this in August, he is better informed about world events than we are! We have started watching as well, and it has prompted some really great discussions with our pre teen about everything from international politics, to climate change, to business. We firmly believe that current events should be part of middle and high school curriculum, after all, these kids will be building the society of the future, they should know what they're getting into.

Good take on the news, it helps me teach my kids what is going on, without it just being one-sided. Newspapers sometimes have too many details for kids, but this is very kid-friendly. Occasionally talks about Korea, and things like that which SOME may find to be "violent." I find them to be "reality." So what *I* do, is discuss with my children what the situations mean to us.

Does not belong being watched in schools. Politics and trying to sway young ones while in school is not tolerable.

My son was watching this in 6th grade. All it talked about for the 2 episodes I watched was COVID. COVID vaccine, social distancing, college kids partying, doing the COVID test.. not appropriate for an 11 year old, these kids don’t need COVID shoved down their throats everyday at school. The parents are the ones who decide about vaccines, etc.

This is part of my children's Global Studies curriculum. BEWARE: It does NOT solely contain unbiased news stories. Focuses on liberal ideas and point of view. If our schools are going to make this part of the curriculum, they should also include conservative news and give the students opportunity to reflect on both sides of the stories. They should be teaching our children how to think, by developing critical thinking skills, not what to think, by forcing them to watch biased news stories, with no follow up or discussion on what they viewed. Unfortunately, there currently does not seem to be any unbiased media sources, so there must be balance.

I do not let my child watch the news at home and I do not think its appropriate for the schools to make children watch it everyday. Teachers should be teaching these kids instead of sitting them in front of a TV.

I was in shock to see CNN talking portraying my country Venezuela as is the people that were fighting for freedom were the one who created the problem and then say nothing wrong about the dictator narco president socialism/communism that we have every time they show my country. Later, I learn that CNN is own by Ted TURNER A SUPPER FRIEND OF FIDEL CASTRO ?? WE LEFT A COUNTRY THAT TURNED HORRIBLE BECAUSE OF SOCIALISM AND NOW SEE MY KID WATCHING CNN AT SCHOOL. THE REAL PROBLEM AND DANGER WITH IT IS THAT THEY ARE GROWING LEARNING TO SEE CNN AS A SOURCE OF AUTHORITY . THEY ARE INDOCTRINATING KIDS IN A VERY SUBTLE WAY SO WHEN THEY CAN VOTE THEY WILL BELIEVE CNN AS THE SOURCE OF AUTHORITY. WE NEED TO FIGHT AN ASK SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO TAKE CNN OUT OF SCHOOLS . BELIEVED ME YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THE USA BECOMING ANOTHER VENEZUELA. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!
