i think we've cruised through 4 month sleep regression because she doesn't sleep in her crib still so she's sleeping attached to me through most of the night and can easily soothe herself back to sleep through after waking up at the end of a sleep cycle. still sleeping 8 hours before needing to feed. can't be mad about sleep regression if I never sleep

On one hand, I feel like I should probably boycott Russian media, but I really don't know how to explain global politics to a 4 year old in a way that makes him okay with losing his favourite show. Plus, it's actually the best thing he's watching in terms of content, with the primary competition being paw patrol. I also don't know if it's actually supporting the Russian government, since it's on Netflix anyway.

So I was playing disco elysium with my niece in the same room, she usually plays with her tablet or some toys and ignores the tv when her parents are watching but she seemed interested in new and unknown words after I asked her to read a few lines to practice some english like dictatorship of the proletariat. Thankfully I was just talking to the old lady in the hotel lobby so nothing too crazy was happening. She seems interested in governments and understood the idea of rich people running the government and this new idea of a worker government. I was showing some old propaganda posters and some clips of the internationale in different languages to give examples of why a worker government would emphasize worker solidarity across countries which she found so different from the usual. She got mildly annoyed when she tried to read russian and realized it wasn't in english. She was of the opinion that the USSR dissolving was ages ago and so old. I asked her if she wanted to learn more and she said yes so I wanna ask what exactly is my next step in explaining government and socialist concepts that I can explain to a kid. Also, she took one look at Kim's portrait and asked me why my partner is a nerd.

Once during COVID here a weirdo who was mad about lockdowns called in a bomb threat on a kindergarten and they closed every school in the country the day after. Active shooter drills are a huge factor in me not raising my kids in the US.

Lotz of security companies make lots of money selling incrementally thicker doors and windows to schools looking for something to tell parents about how they're 10% safer than their neighbors. I was working in a k-2 special ed class last year and we did an active shooter drill during PE and i was super blown away by how intense everything's gotten. They simulate people trying knocking/trying to open the doors and making noises in the hallway to try and get kids to gently caress up and (I guess) kill all their friends. Big alarms blaring the whole time, a paid security consultant running the whole poo poo.

What the hell America? That sounds absolutely insane and probably traumatizing as well. Meanwhile, my kid refused to participate in a fire drill when he was 3. He did not appreciate not getting advance notice about the event and completely refused to get out. Probably not great altogether, but at least he doesn't have to worry about guns.

The Nastier Nate posted:Do they fill the hallways with chest high walls for cover? Yes.  Single story locker rows provide points of cover.  Wing walls spaced out by classroom give space for multiple children to avoid second amendment remedies against getting dumped.  Exterior doors are locked during school hours with the exception of an armored entry vestibule which can be locked down. Heavy steel doors and bulletproof glass here.  Locking heavy doors on classrooms and view sight-lines designed to allow for hiding mass groups of students. My kid's elementary school incorporates all of these.

The Nastier Nate posted:hahaha jfc cant wait till the district renovates our buildings so i can send my kids to school in a gears of war level Lol E: whoops forgot sandy hook I would say like 99% of all this poo poo is completely lost on younger kids because their developmental age makes it very hard to process complex, abstract ideas like the potential for an active shooter to visit their class or what it means to be shot by a gun and die. It's a weird adult thing like fire drills that are super disconnected from their consciousness unless the school or their parents are hyper focused on telling them to be scared and take the ceramic plate carrier backpack to school. I'd like to do a survey of middle and high school students to see when all this poo poo really sets in. At what age do kids start to be scared of the abstract concept of being shot to death by a peer? Probably younger than we think NeatHeteroDude has issued a correction as of 02:21 on Apr 3, 2022 |

Probably younger than we think it’s a developmental thing that happens at a around specific age but I do not know what age it’s supposed to happen. I do know it can happen as early as six or seven though (but that’s extremely early for it to happen). edit: by it I mean existential fears in general.

My wife had a non-drill lockdown a few months ago. Turned out to be some idiot kids with an airsoft gun across the street from the school, but it was still terrifying in the moment as we're texting and I'm trying to find online police scanners to feed her what the hell is going on. Good times. Can't imagine why the teaching profession is draining. Not sure how I'll handle my kids' first shooter drills. Heard recently that their school district has decided recently to do the insanely idiotic and often traumatizing "realistic" exercises run by pyscho cops/ex military rather than the fire drill level stuff they used to do.

all that poo poo is wild. it's not like that everywhere- in 10+ years of teaching I've never worked somewhere that had more than a codeword they would use on the announcements for an active shooter. I've seen it used probably 10-15 times but all for gunshots in the surrounding ~5 block radius never a school shooter lol we got bigger problems

My folks were visiting for a week and I just came back from dropping them off at the airport. Our 4 year old is old enough to understand that his grandparents aren't here anymore so he was kind of sad this morning. We tried to prepare him for this and I think it worked because he's okay with it now. Parenting is tough!

One school I taught at brought a company run by cops and vets for a training that taught me how to kill a guy with a three hole punch. Greg Legg has issued a correction as of 12:54 on Apr 3, 2022 |
