I will be honest. I see kids being shunned or kids that lack social skills and they struggle with making friends. I also see lots of kids with anger issues. I have a boy in third grade who hates school, hates himself, hates the world. The signs are all there but parents don’t see it. I also know that kids are so cruel. I teach in one of the top districts in the country. If you don’t fit in, you are screwed. This leads to lots of hate over time. Kids can be down right nasty. They don’t tease, they bully.....online or verbally. We try and deal with it but it isn’t going away any time soon. I also blame how much violence these kids see through video games and movies. Stuff I would never let my kids see. I could write a book....maybe I will.1 -

We were discussing this very thing between classes last night. I too feel the video games & videos are a major reason for this but the parent age of these students NEED a lesson in respect & it's not ALL about THEM too! Also Social Media is UGLY most of the time!!! I think of you often on how you would handle some of these situations!!! Power to ya woman!!!1 -

I'm not sure it's the violence in video games. It's the lack of consequences for things they do. We used to watch Bugs Bunny and Road Runner. That's two cartoons now deemed too violent for children. That didn't mean we started shooting each other in school. There are no consequences though. You fail a class, they graduate you anyway. You punch another student, they adjust your schedule to make sure you stress that led to you punching the other kid is accommodated. You punch a teacher and they switch your class so you don't have the anxiety that teacher was causing. Why would they expect consequences for shooting someone? They wouldn't.1 -

@Dean - I recognise a lot of my own reflections in what you wrote. I worked in social ed with adolescents for over three decades. Towards the end of my working life I recognised, increasingly, that young people felt entitled and very aware of their own wants and needs, whilst failing to acknowledge that others might have wants and needs. Damn the consequences if the needs of others conflicted with theirs. Let’s just say that this was identified as one of the main educational needs to be addressed.

Dean: Some of these videos like Caal of Duty and others are pretty realistic. Kids fantasize and get so engrossed in this stuff. My now 30 year nephew would sit for hours on end and play that crap and still does to some extent. Shooting people is exciting until there is real pain and blood. Kids also think they are invisible. But I agree, there is a lot of parenting issues. Kids do something wrong and it is never their fault. No one accepts responsibility anymore for anything. It is a different culture. And most of all, it is just shocking to here kids talk to their teachers in a disrespectful way. It has to be going on at home. I would have had a bar of soap stuffed in my mouth, paddled, grounded and an apology note written.

Lost my mileage post for last night.
Jan. 30: 10.5 Walking lots of miles yesterday, working through my lunch just to get a technology component finished for my evaluation. See, more iPad time in PE class. Where will it end. Instead of playing they are busy sitting on iPads.
Jan. 31: 8 miles of walking 6 miles and biking 2 miles
TTD: 355.45 miles
We are starting to see the flu in my school, along with pneumonia, Fifth Disease running rampant, and Adenovirus. I wish I could wear a mask.0 -
@vhuber, yes I was talking about the football game. Too bad the Vikings didn't make it to the Superbowl.
@sufferlandrian, that was a very good possibility also.

Goal!!
Sadly, my loyal, steadfast One has finally bit the dust after months of hit or miss tracking. Memorial services were held by the garbage can. I didn't realize it wasn't working on Sunday, plugged it in Monday & made sure to have my phone on me all day, grabbed my One off the charger and went about my day yesterday only for it to go kaput. Today I kept my phone on me when I could but wasn't completely successful.
I plan on popping in to Walmart and picking up a Zip tomorrow.
Biking: 11 Miles
Walking: 36.55 Miles
Total: 47.55 Miles

Tart Cherry Concentrate is in liquid form. I have to order it because it is hard to find around here. Many people take it for gout and arthritis. My aunt prescribed it for me years ago when I was getting some arthritis in my hips. It cleared up. It has been doing wonders for my knees.
What brand do you use?0 -
