buy school bags for kids image
blondie031
I want to make goodie bags for the kids coming to the party, but honestly don't know what would be cool for 10 year old boys.
Answer
Whoopie Cushions! Boys think they are hilarious! My oldest son is now 14. But a couple years ago they still did a Christmas Gift exchange at his school. Problem- you had a limit of $1.00. Tough to find something for a 10yr old for a buck. I went to the dollar store and bought a whoopie cushion. My son said that everyone in the class wanted one! And they were all jealous that they didn't get it.
Find items that kids think are funny! Then add some candy and gum. I don't think you could really do cars, trucks, or toys at this point. My 9 old doesn't play with that kind of stuff. We are in an electronic world unfortunately!

What is someones opinion on school uniforms?

I'm doing a debate on school uniforms and unfortunately I have to go against them which sucks because it is hard to find evidence on how they are bad. Anyone have any suggestions?
Answer
... I am a teacher in a school that mandates uniforms... I also have 4 kids... I am sick of the smae yadda, yadda, yadda, BS answers...
here are the REAL problems
1) the do NOT protect students from intruders: uniforms can be bought at ANY store (guaranteed by anti-monopoly laws) so any Tom, Dick or Harry can buy them. Since ANYONE can buy a uniform and people ASSUME that isnât the case, it makes it easier for strangers to sneak onto school campuses.
2) they do NOT make students safer: when a student is doing something dangerous or in violation of school rules/safety measures it is harder to distinguish individuals in a crowd of uniforms than in a crowd of free dress style clothing. As uniforms imply... they are uniform... they all look the same... so if you see one person attack another, by the time duty teachers get there the attacker can be gone and hiding in the crowd.... so uniforms facilitate breaking safety rules
3) they do NOT improve appearance more than a strict dress code would, NOR do they reduce distractions in class due to appearance: most districts in our state that have gone to uniforms do so for appearance. However, uniform pants can sag, shorts can be too short, & shirts too tight. If student dress codes were enforced for regular clothing, uniforms would not be needed to deal (ineffectiv4ely) with these.
4) uniforms negatively affect the Self esteem of students that are shorter, taller, skinnier, or fatter than most of their peers: uniforms are uniform. They are not designed to accommodate multiple sizes and shapes. Therefore, most are cut to fit the majority (average) of the population and the others look poorly dressed in them.
5) uniforms do NOT eliminate the discrepancies between the haves & have nots as proponents would have you think: the haves still have more expensive shoes, socks, book bags, jewelry, etc and the have nots now have TWO wardrobes to buy for: school & home.
Dont just take my opinions... read for yourself!
