@cboyack Wild that people look at this and go, “but the justice system!”
Yeah, the justice system is…one of the very few powers OF the government, by design of our country.
Giving food to the poor, though? Not the government’s job. The PEOPLE’S job.
@MelHomeschools@welshwitch78 We only paid like $100, but maybe that’s because of the thing we use for our garage door pairing with Tesla? (We use My Q.)
But. Funny story: I still told my husband I didn’t think it was worth it when we already had the clicker controls! 😂 So I’m with you!
@brittilina Which I, personally, think is the real issue. People are so busy planning their lives around a BABY’s schedule, they forget that that baby will grow up and need to live a non-baby life where things don’t revolve around them. Instead, we center lives around kids.
@brittilina I disagree with “there was always extended family around…”
People traversing the prairie to homestead and settle new land did not travel in “extended family” packs, by and large. It was one family. And the baby had to adjust to everyone else’s life, not the reverse.
@caryatis Honestly, throughout A LOT of history there just weren’t CHOICES.
People had very little, so you ate what was there or you just didn’t eat.
ARFID is a mental illness, like other eating disorders, anxiety, depression, etc. —there was a lot less of that back then, too.
@OnTrackReading Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library does this already, in a way. 1 book/month until the kid is 5, though. An expansion of that program may do the same?
@OnTrackReading I think it builds on Rockefeller’s idea of libraries.
It would be better if it were privately funded and operated, without government intervention.
@MrsCMFrancis I went to public high school and my group cut open our frog and it turned out to be full of eggs, so we had to split up and just get added to OTHER groups. 🤷🏻♀️ So I still haven’t touched a frog with a scalpel.
@HannahWardEdu We are considering taking our kids this weekend! As a family with VERY low (but not zero) screen time—what do you think we should know going in? AND, Should we warn kids ahead or talk about issues after?
@educator4ever36 My desk was where I kept the computer I had to use to submit attendance/lunch count and the absolute mounds of papers that English teachers SHOULD be grading.
…but I was standing, walking, etc. pretty much all day except my prep—during which a desk was very useful.
