Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ugh. Hope he's doing OK with it.
He's doing ok with it, I think. It's a rough age because any older and he'd be subject to ridicule. He let it roll. I think the aide was used to dealing with the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. No excuse, though--when you deal with little ones, let them go! What kid wants to leave the fun of the playground to pee?
Completely disgusting picture. Safe for work. No politicians involved.
I was the annoying kid who used to try to get out of recess (what, I was 6 and didn't like the chaos) by multiple trips to the bathroom. But they always let me go, though my teacher got wise to me and started heading me off at the pass.
Heh, Sara, I was just going to say, "It's recess! Who's trying to get out of recess?" But anyway, who cares if a 6 year old gets out of recess?
Our bathrooms at school were outside anyway, so we all used the bathroom during recess.
I cannot believe that they wouldn't let a child inside to use the bathroom.
When I was 8, I was disgusted at how nasty the bathrooms were. So I drew up a petition and got my schoolmates to sign it and I presented it to the principal with hopes he would have more custodial service of the restrooms.
I don't think my petition did very much (at least I don't remember), but it did give me my bona fides as a baby activist.
I spent half my recesses in the library. I'm sure Owen's headed that way. But right now he still loves outside.
I don't remember recess. I think we might not have had it because we were a neighborhood school, and we walked home for lunch and then went back to school.
We had two classes, then break, three classes, then lunch, three classes. In most of my schools. Break==recess, right?
Break==recess
On a good day, recess = the lighter parts of Lord of the Flies. On a bad day, well...
I was fine with recess until 4th grade when my boobs arrived. I got busted hiding in the library, and my teacher read me the riot act. Given that I was, like, 9, I couldn't articulate that being the only girl with boobs meant recess suddenly turned into sexual harassment fun time.
