Stand up at Preschool

TDS: Happy Meal Toy Ban

Sagemind says...

I don't see where teaching kids basic food facts would be a bad thing. Likewise showing them the results of bad choices as in Supersize Me or the book Fastfood Nation.
All insults to bad parents aside, problems also arise when big business/lobby groups want to get involved in what gets taught to our kids.

A little bit extreme but funny link by the way!

Stupid kids grow up to be stupid parents and have lots of stupid kids who grow up to be stupid parents and (et cetera ad nauseum)... at some point someone has to step in. I for one am all for mandatory school viewings of "Supersize Me" as early as preschool. If kids are going to be brought to poison outlets by their fat, lazy-ass and empty-headed parents, at least let them know what their in for.
Remember this?

I guess Salman Rushdie wasn't invited. Tools


I was thinking that when it went out. Maybe everyone forgot? (Except Salman of course..)


Ysuf keeps lying that he didn't call for the execution of Rushdie. Not really the same as apologizing. Who looks past that in favour of some preschool hippie lyrics?

Homeschooling FTW (Blog Entry by dag)

chicchorea says...

Homeschooled children in the United States reached 1.5 million in 2007. This represents a 74% increase from the 1999, inception of record keeping, figures of the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics(NCES). This is a 36% increase from the 2003 figures. Homeschooled children represented 2.9% of children up from 2.2% in 2003.

The numbers are increasing.

Not to belabor with statistics, which are available, homeschooled children in the US score significantly higher on SAT and ACT tests as well as on state tests where given. My children just scored three years advanced of their grade levels in all areas on state tests. They have never been to public schools.

As far as socialization as well as the other areas discussed, I submit it may very well be counterintuitive. I/we have encountered hundreds of homeschooled children and I dare say they are better socialized and domesticated on the whole than public school children or most adults for that matter. YMMV. There have been significant studies, for instance, that compare preschool children that are submitted to daycare with those that have not. The behavioral patterns differ markedly in favor of those not exposed to daycare. Daycare, it seems, provides a college of misdemeanor.

While religious and/or moral concerns are cited in the reports and when asked for one reason only it was as was stated above. If given a list of seven reasons and allowed to pick more than one, then concern about the school environment was foremost. Concern about the quality of instruction was about as high as was the desire for a nontraditional approach as was the former.

In the US, the income level and educational level of homeschool families is significantly higher on the average as well.

Army men prank

5 year old forced off school bus miles from home

>> ^Stormsinger:
I've fucking answered twice, are you blind? Or just delusional?
Teach him to knock on a door, and ask them to call the police, without going inside.
How much simpler can I make it? Five is absolutely capable of handling that, unless he's mentally retarded as well, and nothing was said about that.
Shit happens. Regardless of whether or not he was -supposed- to be left on the street alone, it happens...in any number of ways. Teaching the kid to cower in fear from everybody, just because some tiny percentage of people are nuts, isn't helping a damned thing when something -real- goes wrong.


I'm not blind, I even quoted your "training" in my last two posts. I'll quote what I JUST said
"You started off by blaming the parents for not teaching their child what to do, yet provide no examples
except "Approach a strangers house."

Which no kid in the world is going to want to do. Especially one that is.. FIVE! Honestly, have you no grasp on children? This isn't a fucking teen we're talking about. When you're 5, the only time you've EVER been out of the house is when A) You've been dropped off by a parent to a babysitter, or preschool B) You've been accompanied by an adult somewhere or C) You've been dropped off by a parent or someone you know to a friends house.

The world is a big fucking place for a kid that age. They've had NO exposure to being alone, and yet your "Answer" to all of this, is to have a kid who has probably never NOT been under some form of parental supervision, approach a random strangers house. It's NOT going to happen. You sound like you're blaming the kid for crying that he was alone for the first time, and in a strange place.

You don't seem to grasp this. I can't understand how oblivious you are, maybe you don't have kids, or were an only child, but you don't seem to have any memory or reference to what it's like to be that young. Your "Training" is invalid. Honestly, if the person whose house you're going up to is some sicko, you think the kid's going to be able to stay on the porch? Seriously?

Should they be tempted into the house by something, or should they just be forced in (Again, we're talking 3 feet high 60+ lbs children) it can happen. However unlikely, how'd it feel if it was your kid that got abducted after telling them "Go to the house, but just stay on the porch.

Again, I'm not blind, your training plan is just ludicrous.

Boy Won't Say Pledge of Allegiance Until Gays Can Marry

ctrlaltbleach says...

I dont know about all that I remember in the third grade and maybe younger what gay was, although maybe not to its full extent. I also remember having a gay friend in preschool he may or may not have known it but he I knew he was different even then.

Yeah, I was totally snooping.

The difference between promote and quality is basically that quality is better, but you can only do it once. It will "bump" the video's hotness enough that it will be on the front page, right under the promotes. The difference is that the hotness will stay high as long as people are voting on it, unlike promoted videos, which will "hide" again when the promote expires.

This has been a gwiz665 presentation. Sit Ubu, sit. Good dog.

Wow. You must have been in my Pqueue. Thanks again.
