NO best friend for you.

Teachers know best. Couldn't risk any hurt feelings or learning about life.

Schools ban children making best friends | The Sun |News

Eerie! If you've ever seen The Wall, the school scene is not far off from this crap. They are molding these kids to be mindless MEAT.

Children need to learn to deal with the issues that will come in life. I think we need to stop coddling them so much and let them be kids.

Wait, wait, wait.......The Sun? Really? This is just too funny.

We now have members linking stories from the Sun, a tabloid from the UK, a sister tabloid to the News of the World paper, a tabloid which is owned by the nefarious Rupert Murdoch, a tabloid with a long history of running stories with little or no known facts, a taboloid surrounded by scandal since its inseption, the tabloid where five senior journalists had been arrested, a tabloid that's being investigating for having a "network of corrupt officials", a tabloid being accused of phone hacking, police corruption and illegal payments authorised by senior members of the corporation. Your getting stories from that tabloid and taking the time to post them here? Wow!!!! That's classic.

But hey, just like FoxNews everyone will tout how successful the paper is and how many readers they have and justify the journalism for that alone.

Almost as funny as linking to the Washington Post or NY times, eh?

Yeah. What's your point?

 

[layoutshooter]

Yeah. What's your point?

For the most part, they are ALL the same. We have NO good news outlets worth a diddily. To pick on one or two and excuse the sins of the rest is kinda goofy in my book. (large print book)

 

[OntarioVanMan]

Yeah. What's your point?

I would say...It is a continuation of your point...they are all rags....

Probably not much different than this gem today.

Don't they have something else to worry about?
BTW......this has been reported on half a dozen networks. Who owns them doesn't really matter.

You know what makes it even more hilarious? Its a story from a UK tabloid.

So what? They are bad over there too. Most "news outlets" are nothing more than propaganda machines. It is very difficult to find reliable news. That is just one of the reasons we have what we have in politics these days.

To go along with no best friend we also have the ban on using red ink to grade papers and the ban on any grade lower than a D even if every single answer is wrong. We just can't risk hurting anyone's feelings.

My daughter is learning about best friends. Her old BF get between her and her new BF, and lies, cheats, and is not BF material for my daughter. It is teaching her proper standards. She is starting to understand the Golden Rule. And it makes her not only a better BF, but a better daughter, and person in general.

As far as her grades... she is her own worst critic. But she still doesn't want to do her homework. LOL
