11 years old really isn't that young anyway. They don't just completely avoid any mention of war, Native American genocide, etc. before high school, it's kind of impossible to learn history without that. Too young to read Night, perhaps, but a general overview of the Holocaust, sure.

I mean it's not that interesting of a point anyways, but when faced with the stdh of the rest of that post, my mind tried to find some way to not have to consider it.

I don't remember really learning a lot about the holocaust in middle school. I think there was some general overviews about it and WWII but we certainly didn't learn the specifics about kristallnacht or really any details about the actual exterminations going on. Then again my primary schools all sucked anyway.

Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:Surely it depends on the teacher and school. Got a kid in 7th grade last year and didn't really cover it in history.social studies, but in literature they did read Boy in the Striped Pajamas and something else relevant, so that prompted discussion and enough to be aware of genralities. When I was in school it was more like high school with one year being european/world history, one was US history; breaking out into more specific focus than just "history" In sixth or seventh grade we read Alicia: My Story and someone came in to talk to a bunch of kids about how she was in the concentration camps and knew Anne Frank.

In fifth grade in rural Oregon, we had a holocaust/concentration camp survivor come in and talk about her experiences. It was harrowing. The post was obviously STDH, but I think it’s relatively common to start to go over the holocaust at that time. I’m all in favor of it - 20 years later, I can remember that talk extremely vividly - she seemed to hold little back, so considering she was talking to fifth graders, I’m sure what she experienced had to have been even worse. As a society, we won’t have the opportunity for these first-person discussions for much longer, and I fear how bold the deniers will be then.

That is some hosed up stuff and it makes the drivers act all kinds of crazy. Like fake casual conversation, bottles of water and mints. Then came the passenger rating system and now the drivers are getting revenge on the passengers by giving them low ratings for things like parents needing to bring their kids places or not tipping well enough.

Apparently the airbnb rating system is messed up too, and getting anything less than five stars gets airbnb to start harassing you.

I did this for a AP calculus final. It seemed like a good idea to a teenage nerd, and it worked alright, but the slight increase in density wasn't worth the extra effort.

You're better off splitting each line of the index card into 2 or 3 lines and using a mechanical pencil or technical pen, paying a friend to help you write it/typing it up if your handwriting isn't tight enough. I did this for a physics exam and overestimated the amount of information I would need to write, so wound up with a bunch of empty space and tiny but still readable text on it.

My great-grandmother (in the old times this lady so likes) had something like nine or ten kids, only three did not die in either childbirth or infancy. I guess they either weren't the right amount of poor or she had not the correct number of boobs to care for them, the spoiled little brats.

I do like that "how many couches did your grandparents own" got put into their rant despite the fact that knowing that just means you probably spent a decent amount of time at their house.

Nappies are expensive. Babies grow super fast, and clothes are expensive. When said baby grows up enough to start walking, he starts to grow even faster, and shoes are more expensive than clothes. What feeds all that growing is food, and when they are babies they need special food, (which as you guessed is expensive). Etc. Sure, there are ways to cut down on the expense of all that I listed, and you won't find a parent that doesn't at least try to minimize the expense. But children are loving expensive, from baby to adult they cost a fucktonne of money, and even more time, effort and love. That's not to say they aren't worth it though. (awww)

Rolls in badass revenge and epically lovely customers, but no applause or Einstein. I found it worth the read, as a dedicated STDHer, but I sprained my neck from the noping.

My grandparents were old as heck (they had my mom very late in life, when my grandpa was nearly 50, so one was born in 1916 and the other in I think 1921 or somewhere thereabouts) and they died in 2001 and 2002, but they sure as hell embraced whatever money got them. They raised 8 kids in one house, sure, but it was a decently sized house with two stories and a basement in a nice neighborhood. They moved to Florida in 1979 and built themselves an even bigger house. When I was born in 1992, they had a living room with a couch, a big recliner, and a nice TV. Your grandma didn't lack 5 couches because she wanted to leave a legacy behind as a tough lady who fed fifty people with half a T-bone and a salt shaker. She was just poor. If you gave her 5 couches she would sit on a different one every day just to spite her neighbors.

The mods are absolutely ruthless on anyone casting doubt on a story and everything in the "War Stories" subforum is highly suspect. The culture there is also really cliquish and hug boxy.

Also cheap clothes will either be uncomfortable at best or wear out and need replacing by the end of the year at worst. Ripped jeans as a fashion statement started because the original wearers were too poor to afford new clothes even as their wardrobe was falling to pieces.
