I've had my own issues with not daring to displease the parents. That's why I had to tapdance around a question asked of me when I did a couple of days of astronomy in a Grade 3/4 science class when I was a student teacher. Telling a group of kids that there's no evidence for Genesis isn't a smart move in a class where the teacher has mandatory morning prayer, and the authority to decide whether or not the student teacher gets to continue in the program.

Of course that was before we had the Charter of Rights that makes it illegal for government/government institutions (which public schools are) to discriminate on the basis of religion/no religion). A year later, I'd have been able to (politely) tell the teacher where she could stuff her mandatory morning prayer if an atheist didn't want to participate.

YouTube is specifically not blocked as there is a decent amount of education stuff on it.   A lot of teachers also have kids do video projects and post them to YouTube.   

What about Youtube for Schools? https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2695317?hl=en

It's supposed to let you allow certain videos but not others, so you can block all the music videos / useless stuff and only allow Khan Academy / Smarter Everyday stuff like that.

Doesn't work, I am afraid.  1) that was experimental and is ending this summer, 2) didn't allow for students making their own videos for class. 

You can always go with the google app, but again was found to be not user friendly.

Time dilates as the speed of light approaches. To the extent that light consists of particles, it is in its own way, timeless. Through simple perturbations of the temporal manifold, we can refract or repel photons most efficiently.
