Caring ... Compassionate ...

So this is the first picture of the elementary school's "Diversity" Council. My kiddo was asked to participate, and he decided he would. It was by staff nomination.

My husband and I are getting a chuckle over this Tweet. Here's muh boy along with the other caring compassionate leaders. But he's the one whose favorite response when faced with any obstacle tends to be "Nuke it!" or "I'll blow it up!"

Really caring and compassionate! LOL

Of course, he is 10.

Sounds like he is realistic in addition to being caring and compassionate!

Winning!

I like him already!

If they think they can change him to a caring and compassionate kid they are in for an awakening. We have to condition our kids to be able to take care of themselves in the world....or I suppose they can become one of those people who want everything taken care of by the government.

Nah, he really is a sweetheart. But he does tend to have that response to a lot of things.

But he's always the first to step in and share, and he voluntarily gave up his spot to another kid for a party over the summer. So his heart's in the right spot even if his mouth isn't always.

Heart is in the right spot even though his mouth isn't? Is he your clone?

Hmmm, not sure how to take that one.



Family thinks he's got a lot of his great-grandmother in him. They found a pic of her as a youngster and when you put it up beside a pic of him at the same age, they look a lot alike. She could be a pretty salty gal when she wanted to.

Ahhgg, I'm a bit torn here. On the one hand congrats on bringing up a winner, on the other hand I'm not liking this social distancing BS. That pic is sad vis-a-vis indoctrination.

I don't think humans are meant to be around each other like that - in 5 or 10 years of this BS being the norm, I don't know what the future will look like.

BMXs, cubby houses, camping and hanging with mates after school - all things the next generation can read about as being things that used to happen.

Anyway, sorry to rant off topic-ish, a proud parent is one of lifes little rewards for a good effort you've (both) put in.

To be honest, when we were called about letting him be on it, we were of mixed feelings because "diversity". So you aren't alone.

Thing is that he is intensely social, so we sent him back to what he could do at school. He was so upset about being stuck in and around the house. Sure, he has tae kwon do practice, and that's been important. But it's practice; there isn't a whole of social in it. At least not the kind of social he wants. He gets more of it at school.

So we sent him back and we're clinging to hope they won't go back to virtual with this latest round of restrictions like many of the other districts seem to want to. We have some hope ... it's a mixed bag right now, and a lot of the ones that are are moving that way with upper school.

My man.

Perhaps he would like Santa to bring him one of these for Christmas for his wall?

Well, considering I just heard my governor, not more than 45 minutes ago, tell the state of AZ that we need to ‘virtually socialize’ not only for Thanksgiving, but just in general. With ‘no end in sight’.

I’d say we are heading here. Produced by Hollyweirds Spielberg himself.

I find this picture really unsettling, they’re stealing our children’s childhoods with irrational fears and worries. Sounds like a great kid, this whole conditioning children with social distancing and mask nonsense is the problem.

a reply to: ketsuko

Why bother?

a reply to: ketsuko

There are few problems in life that can't be addressed with the proper application of explosives.

So effective, even improper application can suffice, or be overly effective.

Social distancing makes it easier for the government's to pick off citizens with dissenting views or otherwise unfavorable views. The actual thought police.

“Nuke it” or “I’ll blow it up”. Made me laugh 😂

Does he have any pets?, just in case school goes virtual again!

a reply to: KTemplar

We have three cats although one is so old, she might as well be a cat shaped pillow. One of the two younger ones is his special pal and lets him haul it around like a sack of potatoes. The other is a major cuddle bug and loves being there when he reads -- lots of scritches.

He also has a king snake.

That’s awesome! God bless the little guy!
