Elementary school bans dating after 5th graders all date each other

Just because your son talking about Pokémon don’t mean all the kids are. My son a little nerd too.
But on the opposite end, his friends making twerk videos on musically, dedicating it to “my nigga!”.


This is 5th grade!

Kandy, you're making my point for me. Because it sounds like you are saying that each kid is different and that a blanket policy by a school that 'all kids are forbidden from 'dating'' is a bad one.

This is actually exactly what's wrong with schools: the one size fits all mentality of educators.

That ain’t the mentality but some statements have to be blanketed due to inclusion.
 
I don’t even want my 15 yr old dating. They’re gonna like other ppl but they gotta learn self-control. It’s just drama and distraction. These are kids who know absolutely nothing that comes w dating. They’re immature in everything they do and think. They still gotta raise their hands to go to the bathroom, have parent signatures etc and yet they’re old enough for dating? Nah. The whole “feelings” thing has to stop. Check back into reality.
 
mryoungun, and im just asking. but you cool with children "dating" at this age?

Good question. I'm glad you asked. Like I said, my kid is in the 5th grade now. If he came home talking about some little girl, talking about that his lil 'girlfriend', I would be totally ok with them 'dating'. Matter fact, he don't even realize that that time is coming soon and that me and his mom already know what li girl in his class he gonna develop a little crush on just based on the way they interact and he mentions her in conversation.
 
to me its not about telling the kids they cant have feelings or relationships

if the school sees that its that much of a distraction i have no problem with them saying chill with the titles

the "end the relationship" deadline thing is stupid, I agree...they have no control or say off campus...but I dont have ANY problem with them taking the type of control they should have on campus. shits been too laxed for too long and we're used to it

you and lil timmy can like each other and hang out at your mama's house after school if u want, but you not a couple here....we're here to learn

and i didnt even come up like that so I know its just hard for some people come around to...

its has nothing to do with boundaries and all this individuality bullshit. Make a collective effort to try to keep these kids focused.

what harm could that do?

the way the public schools are looking right now I see one taking a step further and actually trying to help direct some young lives
 
Here's the thing, if it don't apply to ya kid, what you up there arguing about?

If my 4th grader had this in his bookbag and I'm a question him about it

Bow if he says something brazy like, teachers are separating them by gender or some silly shit then yeah, I'm raising hell. But encouraging kids to 'break up'? Ehhh, good for them. Hey son, dont get caught with a gf

So with this same hard line of thinking, if ya son had a note in his bag talking about how distracted him and the young lady is. How they slipping on they work. How they always sneaking off at recess, you gonna just shrug ya shoulders and say well it was bound to happen?
 
I think they're more afraid of one them getting hurt...depressed...angry...then coming back to the school wit their daddy's gun and lightin everyone's azzz up. All b/c Becky checked "No" on Bobby's "Will you go with me" note
 
Yes it is. Parents would be upset if you hand picking students to send the notice too. “Well, why isn’t his friend getting the same notice.”

Im a teacher, I deal with this EVERYDAY.

We are talking about 2 different things when we talk about 'inclusion'. What you just said has nothing to do with what I mean when I say 'inclusion'. And as a teacher, I have a hard time believing that you actually are talking about something different. But you seem genuine and NOT like a troll, so I'm gonna let you live. Lol.

Well what do you mean when you say inclusion, as a parent?

No. I'm not sure where you got that. This question leads me to think you are either disingenuous or don't read. Because I've made reference SEVERAL times to the fact that if a kid is fucking up in school, it's their parents responsibility to get them lil fuckers back on track. Not to just sit there are say 'Fuck school. You got a girl now nigga!'.

So what are we talking about here?
