Can confirm. My kids dwarfed Doog Bot's.UW_Doog_Bot said:
My wife specializes in child development and education. She's got binders for each of our kids for their development. My kids are way ahead of every metric except size. If anything, I worry about them being bored and acting out in a traditional school where they don't have mixed age education and where the standards have been lowered. Don't confuse Montessori with Waldorf. That's a totally different monster.BennyBeaver said:
The longer they stay in Montesorri, they longer it will take them to catch up if/when they go to a more traditional school.UW_Doog_Bot said:
We are having the same stupid shit rolled out here. The kids might be staying in Montessori for a bit longer than we had originally planned.YellowSnow said:UW_Doog_Bot said:Will they be learning all 76 genders? If not it's just regressive and bigoted education.
I'm glad we can find space in the pedagogy for these topics as early as Kindergarten but still don't require basic financial or economic literacy as part of a public education all the way through high school graduation.
Totally agree about your personal finance/economics poont.

How can I be racist? I have black friends.YellowSnow said:
My family respects differences just fine (e.g., be a best man at a same sex wedding -before it was legal - and then pop off).BennyBeaver said:
Part of being a good human and treating others with respect is learning about differences.YellowSnow said:
I might. I'm struggling with the response, however. Look, all I care about at this age is that my kid is a good human and treats hit classmates with respect. Follow the Golden Rule. But how the fuck is a 5.5 year old supposed to start processing transgender issues? Fucking Christ...HHusky said:
Are you going to push back?YellowSnow said:My kindergartner starts transgender studies next week. According to Seattle Public Schools, kids by the age of 5 or 6 can have sorted out their preferred gender identity. And as a result, their classmates - who are just learning how to read and write mind you - need to learn the proper pronouns to use.
I don't get the worry here. Are you concerned your son will want to be be trans because he learns about it in school? -

Tell your kid the truth: This stuff is 99% Bullshit, the people pushing it are all fucked in the head, and someday you'll be tearing them all to pieces on an online sports-driven & political forum.YellowSnow said:

Teach your kid that sometimes you have to lie to idiots who can't handle the truth and pretend you give two shits about them, when you don't.
It's all part of life and your kid will come out way ahead in the end, because these stupid Marxists aren't going anywhere, and will have to be dealt with like the cockroaches they are. -
You should cut a deal with @PurpleThrobber to rent part of the G n R compound in the mountains where ever the fuck it is? I'm guessing there's ample room for a tee pee or two.Swaye said:
