I, too, had a TV in the corner of the media and let CNN run all day
at a low volume. At the first of each period, everyone sat around
quietly and watched. Later in the period, interest would lag and
they would cluster in their regular groups. Teachers would stop in
from time to time to catch up on the latest. Those who needed to
work sat on the other side of the room. All said they were not
bothered by the TV. I guess they're used to the background noise.
My principal was at first concerned that it might be distracting, but
the students all seemed to appreciate it.
