I'm afraid I have to disagree with the broadcasting of 'school specific' programming, especially during the day. It would be a good idea if it would show something me and my collegues would actually use, but there isn't as most of the schools programming is out-dated, old fashioned and doesn't fit in with anyone's curriculum. With the wealth of material available for me to use on the various Discovery channels and UK channels (amongst others - Sky Travel is a great source of info as well for my subject and where would I be without the news channels everytime something happends?) I'm spoilt for choice, and I have the luxury of keeping what I use relevent and up to date, rather than using the same old years old stuff i had to endure when I was a kid....
Maybe there does need to be time set aside for subjects that don't get much in the way of 'popular interest' programming ( maths, english language, modern languages etc) but Teachers TV show excellent up to date stuff and all the programmes can be downloaded from their website for free too!

Schools TV on BBC2 and C4 needs a good kick up the backside. The BBC in particular should offer at least two and a half hours' daytime programming, while both channels should be required to make the daytime offerings of interest to all age ranges.
