Speaking of using VCRs in school, I remember in junior high, one particulary imposing teacher had a top loading early model VCR, old enough to have rotary UHF/VHF tuners on the front, and a wired remote control. He would walk around during movies, and whip the remote control wire over the students in their desks as he walked back and forth around the room.
I think the 80s and early 90s were a low point for quality in school movies, stuck between the superior large picture of 16mm films, and modern day digital sources and video projectors. I don't at all miss watching a grainy VHS tape, with the tracking going in and out of sync, 20 feet away from a cheap 20 inch RCA tv, with terrible blaring mono sound struggling to keep up with a class of 30 people half paying attention. This is about as far from ideal movie watching conditions I can possibly imagine.
