Reality TV in your child's classroom?

[Philagoofy]

Tony Danza is in talks to host a classroom based reality show here in a Philadelphia high school.

He would teach English class and although he has a bachelor's in history education, is this an appropriate way for children to be educated? While reality shows aren't supposed to be scripted, I'm sure many people don't act/react the same when they are being filmed. Would they really be concentrating on the subject? There would have to be some drama, contention, gossip, whatever else there is that makes reality shows so popular. Is this what's best for our children?

These kids have to attend this school everyday, if Betty gossips on camera about her friend Veronica & it's on the show in a few weeks, how's Veronica going to feel? There has already been problems with violence in the school being considered.

I'm sure there are some people who could see a positive to this, but as a high schooler myself, I think this'll end in disaster. Why is there a need to put this on TV?

Like Jaimie I really don't see any good coming from this.
The example you gave about Betty&Veronica's gossip. That sort of thing does happen and I know I wouldn't want that sort of thing on TV! I don't see the point of this show really?
