Re: video ratings

[Edna Wilkins <ednawilkins@NETZERO.NET>]

Dear LM_Netters;

I have been lurking for a couple of years and of course I have received
valuable information on just about every subject imaginable.  I do have a
question that  seems not to have been addressed on LM_Net.

Recently my principal requested that our teachers send a letter home
whenever they plan to show a video that has a rating higher than "G."  Most
of the videos they are using are from our school collection so I feel
obligated to assist the teachers in at least determining the rating of the
videos in our collection.  The majority of our videos do not have a rating
printed on the container and I have tried to search for information so that
I could attach it.  That is where the problem begins; practically no one
supplies ratings for curriculum related videos.  I found limited information
at www.reel.com and www.amazon.com.

Do any of you know where I can find ratings for the remainder of our videos?


TIA
