OT, Kindergartener Suspended For Making A Terrorist Threat

Two days of suspension and counseling? Good thing she didn't shoot someone with a rubber band or a water pistol. |

Before the internet, I read of a family of four kids,
decided to raise them gender neutral. One year they bought four Barbie dollars for two girls and two boys. The girls opened them up and said "you need more make up!" which is odd, cause the Mom wore no make up. The boys opened, took em out, and used the dolls to begin sword fighting. Christopher A.

Quote from that Cheeseburger web page:
"The girl was initially given a 10-day suspension for "making a terrorist threat," but it was later reduced to two days and a psychiatric evaluation before she was allowed to return to class." You know, it's the air heads in charge of those kindergarden kids that need the psychiatric evaluation. It's a bubble GUN. You're supposed to have fun shooting out bubbles with it. If you shoot a bubble at a friend, there is no lethal intent. Even a 5 year old would understand that. Apparantly, the 5 year old is the only one that understands that. |

Pure over-reaction. Kids are kids and they play these games out of instinct. Take the toy guns away and they'll use sticks, fingers, anything. They need to take responsibility for the kids upbringing, that's the thing that affects whether or not they turn into a killer when they're older. |

Quote:
I'm a skeptic on the whole Nature vs. Nurture debate. A dog born to two chihuahuas is going to grow up to be another chihuahua, not a great dane no matter how much it's nurtured during it's formative years. That is, I believe that many, if not most, of our personality traits are established at birth by our DNA. Certainly it's true that each of us lead different lives, and we all find ourselves in different situations that require different responses on our part. However, I believe the manner in which we respond to different circumstances is determined by our temperment, and that in turn is largely determined by our DNA. But I agree that some things are hard wired in our brains at birth. Boys instinctively want to play at competitive games whereas girs instinctively prefer co-operative games. Boys will play Cowboys and Injuns or Cops and Robbers whereas girls get more fun out of pretending to live in a doll house, having a make believe tea party or dressing up Barbie in new clothes. I fully expect this 5 year old girl was thinking that by "shooting" her friend with a bubble, both her and her friend could both have fun together using her Hello Kitty Bubble Gun. I don't believe for a second there was anything sinister in the 5 year old girl's mind, and so that psychiatric evaluation is going to turn up nothing but an ordinary American child wanting to play with a toy.

My wife and I have certainly had some influence, but they still follow many of the traits of their natural parents that they did not know when growing up.

In the next part where I mention twin studies and the high levels of concordance that are seen in some things (but interestingly enough not others). There is a strong genetic component that argues for nature, but nurture has its place, too. As a parent of two adopted children (now in their 40's) and having friends with both adopted and natural children, nature is a much stronger force in the end result than nurture. Depends largely on what you are talking about. Even then, I think nurture can have an impact.

I've got to disagree on that. I'm a skeptic on the whole Nature vs. Nurture debate. A dog born to two chihuahuas is going to grow up to be another chihuahua, not a great dane no matter how much it's nurtured during it's formative years. But that is what it looks like, not how it acts. Whole different ball of behavioral wax. What is your experience that leads you to your conclusion? As a parent of two adopted children (now in their 40's) and having friends with both adopted and natural children, nature is a much stronger force in the end result than nurture. My wife and I have certainly had some influence, but they still follow many of the traits of their natural parents that they did not know when growing up. Even my son's occupation that is very strong in his birth family. Nature has more to do with skill sets but much less with social skills. Our extended family is foresters to adopt and we've been down both paths with 50+ foster grand kids over the years. Most telling are the kids that come to the family with bad a**ed attitudes and leave as functional individuals headed for a decent adulthood. |
