What the ..Deleted by CalHunter...?

Had parent teacher conferences a week or so ago.My 7 yr old daughter who is in the second grade is doing very well in school, almost straight As, no discipline problems, participates in class and is involved in after school projects as well.But this teacher has a problem with something I never thought Id have to goto the school and discuss.

My daughter has friends

Theres 4 or 5 girls that play together at recess and after school.They have since kindergarten.They stay at each others houses on weekends, theyre involved in the same activities.They dont disrupt the class but they always play together.

Apparently Im supposed to have a talk with my daughter about playing with everyone and not just her friends so none of the students feel left out and get thier feelings hurt.Report cards came out and once again, there was a note on them that my daughters not including everyone in in thier games.

What the ..Deleted by CalHunter... are these kids gonna do when they get older?Im all for making new friends but why would anyone force thier kids to play with someone they dont want to?Since when is having friends in school a discipline problem.Since when are kids so sensitive they need to mandate that everyone be included.

Ive talked to several of the parents of these other girls and they find it ridiculous as well.Im going to have a talk with my daughter but its probably not the one they were expecting me to have.As long as her grades are good and theyre not being disruptive she doesnt have to include anyone she doesnt want to.Am I wrong here or reading to much into this or are we trying to turn the next generation of kids into a bunch of sissies?

I wonder if that teacher has any friends? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?????

Sure she has friends,

One white one.

One black one.

One Latino one. (notice I didn't say Mexican)

One gay one.

And one street urchin that lives under a bridge.

Welcome to the lovely liberal swing the educational system has been stuck at for years. Add in Bushes crazy requirements and you have the making of the destruction of public education we are about to see.

Why cant we see the middle and apply common sense when addressing education. The liberals want to take away personal responsibility, while the conservatives want to force education on the kids who don't want to learn or cant learn at a higher level, all at the expense of our upper level kids. Im really considering a carrier change.[:@]

It wouldnt be bad if it was just this one teacher but it seems to be a fad thats taking over the entire school system.They started a summer rec leage here for the grammar school kids.They can play soccer, T-ball, baseball for the older ones things like that.But, theyre not allowed to keep score, nobody ever gets out, everyone on the teams get to bat every inning they go through the whole lineup.This spring they sent a letter out warning against yelling encouragement to your kids cuz some of the other players might take it wrong and be upset[:'(]Nobody loses, nobody gets thier feelings hurt, and everyone gets a turn at bat, its nuts.I can understand a rule where everyone gets to play during the game but everyone playing in every inning makes it more like watching paint dry.

Whats gonna happen to these kids when they hit high school and reality sets in.Some kids are talented, some kids suck, some are popular, some arent.I feel a massive rise in teen suicides coming in the near future.
