So this teacher runs a preschool/kindergarten that includes outdoors activities. She's got the kids at the beach for the day, and some of them decide to climb up a hill. Busybody onlookers called the cops and now the state has shut down the school for child endangerment. Full story is at the link.

Letting a 6 year old run around a public beach naked should have had her license revoked.

You know, I'm out of line when I say this but it's that mentality that is what is wrong with so many kids these days.

[Tyche]

And what is exactly wrong with kids these days?

[Nitsuki]

That's extremely fucked up, society today are a bunch of little bitches.

When i was in 5th grade, my class spent the last 2 hours of our friday out in the park. We were buddy'd up with 1st graders as a "buddy system" program. We played tackle football, climbed trees, jumped off the top of the playground, all that shit was fun as fuck.

Now people freak out because of kids climbing a hill? Pretty fucking pathetic, it sucks she got her school got shut down, it raged me reading this. She was not doing anything wrong imo.

Where did it say she was letting a 6 year old run around the beach naked?

edit: Oh, that's where lol.

Sometimes I dread to think what's going to continue with the trend of protecting children from being children. Make me glad I'm from an older generation that was allowed to get scraped knees.

The six year old boy in this story discovered that his father had, on that one day, forgotten any change of clothing. I made the decision that it was better for him to be naked than freezing, and so he played in his birthday suit.

Still think it's dumb shit

Whats wrong is that parents cant properly instill discipline in their kids, any time you so little as raise your voice to your child, you're deemed a bad parent. Kids gave gotten more and more rampant with their activities, its beyond the point of absurd. Parents are too afraid to do anything to their kids due to all the protection laws, its basically "do what they want". In turn, they grow up to be a bunch of stuck up princesses. Due to the nature of where I work (in a mall in one of the more snobbier areas of the city), I've seen kids get held by cops waiting for their parents arrival, only for the kids to basically tell their parents off to their face. Its pathetic. I'm not advocating beating your kids, but if my kid ever mouthed "fuck you" to me, I'd slap them in the face, live infront of their friends too if necessary. If my kid ever started a public scene to embarass me, I'd drag that fucker by their ear out the store and make sure they learn to never pull that shit again.

Would that make me a bad parent? By societys rules, quite possibly, but what is it going to take for people to realize theres too much protection for kids and not enough means to enforce discipline?

[Jodwahh]

Ok that is some pretty weird shit, didn't see that when I skimmed through the story.

[Deadgye]

At 6, who really gives a shit? Personally I would have had the child a least keep his underwear on, that way so that when they were done he could just go commando and not freeze.

With the whole naked kid thing, I find it hard to believe that no one had like an extra t-shirt or something that he could have put on. And what the hell is so wrong about air-drying in your bathing suit on a sunny beach? lol. Unless it was cold out, in which case, why the hell did they go swimming?

I don't understand why people are so stupid these days. And why they think they need to get so involved in shit like this. Maybe if one of the kids were crying and carrying on about being scared I could see a reason to intervene, but the only people who were scared were the adults. Maybe they need to mind their own fucking business. I used to climb trees, jump off of (somewhat) high surfaces, run around in creeks and forests picking up toads and snakes, stepping on things and basically bruising and scraping the hell out of myself, but man, I'm sure as hell not afraid to climb up on a ladder now when I need to fix something.

Keep teaching our kids to be afraid of everything, that way they'll never take chances and accomplish anything. That sounds like a sure route to a successful future.

I beat my kids (well, my 2 year old) ass when they act up. My wife use to be uncomfortable with it if I did it in public, but she's gotten over it. I think more of a societal issue placating to kids. Still, in am age where a picture can go from a cell phone to the Internet in less than 2 minutes, you can't let kids that old run around naked. If my childs teacher let my 2 yearbold run around naked I'm public, I would be fucking irate.

Just read about a 1st grader being SUED for sexual harassment. Thats what kids fucking do.

The next generation is gonna grow up to be Mormons, with all the restrictions we put on em.

Yeah I definitely think that was a lot more severe than letting kids climb on shit and run around actually having fun and acting like, i dunno ... kids.

[Nitsuki]

Fuck that, as a hispanic, some of us still abide by our old ways of parenting, just a little toned down. If the kid does bad, then it's the obvious smack on the wrist or the butt, raise your voice at them, and tell them "i'll give you something to cry about".

Simple parenting like that goes a long way. However, unfortunately we can't control what our kids do in school and the bad influence time by time comes from friends.

am I doing it right?
