[quote=sdduuuude]I think you are all crazy assigning these adult-like personas and expectations of kindegarteners.
The kindegarteners aren’t racially profiling each other and kicking the boy in the crotch is not wise advice.
Just tell her to ignore the brats, go find the nice kids and play with them. It isn’t that difficult, really.
As for yourself, FLU – do the same with the parents. Don’t focus on all the Carmel Valley social posturing. Just find some nice people and conect with them. I guarantee you they are there.[/quote]
SD,
you are wrong on that one too. Plus I’ll go two years better than Kindergarden. The stories my sister tells me about the playground politics of her daughters and it is astounding. Boyfriend girlfriend politics (all very innocent at her age), profiling, social stimatizing… Its all very shocking. I told my sister to get the kids out of there and she said “Why? It’s that way everywhere now.”
I swear it made me want to have a vascetomy. Kids will be kids? Ha! Kids will be adults seemingly.
I don’t know why its different today. Maybe it wasn’t and we acted similiarly without knowing it.
Or maybe these things start earlier now becuase more kids go to day care and the learn bad behavior from one bad apple.
Or maybe I am just Mr. Negative since my schooling was a sham…
I know you have kids and your experience level is much higher than mine but I have worked on a school playground and I have plenty of friends and relatives that relate these stories…
And your no prize yourself my friend!
Ill be home soon and working from SD on a more regular basis. Get some Ba Ren?
