Our fifth grade teacher's reclamtion of our brain was necessary after we had spent all summer watching tv and playing video games. After a receiving a sanction from our parents to do so, she prohibited us from watching any TV, besides PBS and the Discovery channel, fo rthe first month of school. To mollify our great desire for TV, she would show us interenting education films in class on friday.
