Early elementary school kids often use small whiteboards in school to practice handwriting now instead of chalk/small slates or worksheets/notebooks. Some programs include individual kits for students that have portable white boards in them.

The skill transfers very well to paper when its time for "actual writing" class.

I think Carthag Tuek was picturing a wall-mount sized whiteboard, like an instructor would use.

How strange, I've never heard of kids in Australia using either whiteboards or slates.

Yeah, this kind of thing is very regional, varies even by country. In Europe, they mostly fell out of common use after World War 2, when everyone decided to switch to paper for purposes of getting kids used to proper pencils and handwriting sooner. Might be that if only for environmental reasons, schools are now switching back.

At the risk of derailing, it also provides quick feedback to the teacher. "Show me what says "p"" and then I count down from 3 and then they have to hold up their board and show me. I can look at the whole class in 2 seconds and diagnose who needs more help. It also adds an element of fun and is easy and fast to erase, allowing kids to have more time practicing without going through 5 sheets of paper per day.

drat, I miss my job :smith:

TIFU by realizing I taught my son the wrong word for ribs.

A little backstory, So 3 weeks ago I bought a grill and was BBQing ribs(my first time) and they looked GOOD. So when I came back in from checking on them I yelled "Babe them ribs lookin SMACKALICIOUS!"(idk why I chose this word but it was the first one that came to mind) Then my 3 year old son copied me like "lookin mackawicious!" and I was like yeah SMACKALICIOUS! Giving him high fives and me and him was just repeating that they looked SMACKALICIOUS the whole time I was grilling. I didn't think much of it and my wife and I thought it was cute every time he would copy me and say "MACKAWICIOUS!" Now fast forward to yesterday, I grilled ribs again but this time I wasn't as excited as I knew what I was doing and knew they would be good. I never once called them smackalicious or anything of the sort. I pull em off the grill, put em on the island and am letting em cool down a bit when my son walks up to me with his plate and said "daddy can I have some mackawicious?" I was like "huh? some what" and he pointed at the ribs and said " SOME MACKAWICIOUS!" and I just started cracking up and look over at my wife who is shaking her head at me while holding back a laugh. I then put some on his plate and said "no buddy they are called ribs" and he smiles at me and says "nooo its a mackawicious!" So now I have to find out a way to turn the fun word of "mackawicious" into the boring word "ribs".

First of all, Titus Andromedon sang a whole song about how teeth are outside bones, so just WHO are YOU to say?

Second of all, the best part about teeth is that the tooth sockets are called GOMPHOSES.

Third, you're completely correct, but they're still part of the skeleton, so maybe they're boners.

Fourth, I googled "are teeth bones" just to be sure (I have an Msc in osteoarchaeology so I'm allowed to Google obvious questions about bones) and the autocomplete was "Are teeth bones or cartilage?"

CARTILAGE. I'm going back to bed.

HopperUK: Apr 29, 2007; Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?

This is going to read like STDH but I swear this is true, I heard it with my own ears.

My mum was chatting with my little niece, who's three and a half. I didn't catch the start but this is how it went on:
"And are *you* a wiggly worm?"
"No! I'm a girl!"
"So what are you made of then? Sugar and spice and all things nice?"
"No! Skin!"

Then they got into what's *inside* a person that isn't skin. Kiddo said, "Blood!"
"Yes, and what else?"
"Um, bones."
"Yes, there--"
"And PAIN! Blood and bones and pain!"

I am sitting with an ~8 year old child coloring since it's early in the day and she's the only one in so far

Me: "Are you starting school soon?"
Her: "Yeah"
Me: "Will it be online?"
Her: "yeah on my computer"
Me: "Y'all are lucky when I was your age we couldn't have done that because the internet wasn't a thing"
Her: :stare:

"HOW DID YOU LIVE?"

e: Also the revelation that we didn't have cell phones either, and that our first cell phones could only call or text not do anything else like play games, was met with similar incredulity

I was having a small group video chat with some first graders but only one showed up, so I asked him to show me a special souvenir from a vacation he ahd been on. He got an excited look in his eye and goes "I can show you this weird old toy we got when I was at [wherever the place was]."

I waited patiently as he went off screen and then returned with a fidget spinner
