My student teacher showed my careers class Wizard of Oz and gave them a worksheet about handling hardships, conflict resolution, etc and they complained that they didn't want to watch the movie.
But offer them a movie like austin powers and they'll step all over themselves to see it..
I'd say 'uffda' all them time in front of my GF, the GF picked it up and when her grandkids heard this and thought, 'if grandma says it.......'
the girls went home-my GF was called later and lambasted for 'teaching' the GKs 'dirty words'!!!! Yet those same kids were allowed to watch the austin powers movie.......those kids could QUOTE LINES FROM THE MOVIE -- not the benign stuff either..
later we were baby sitting at the daughter's house and the kid went to turn on the telly, she wanted to watch that same movie-when i told my GF that i was not comfortable with the kids watching the movie i was told it was, "o.k., their mom lets them watch it..."
(i like racy humor but i just didn't care for that movie)...the adult humor in that movie is o.k. for adults - but for 5-6 year old kids?!?!?!?!
UFFDA!! my GF was upset about being raked over the coals for that-apparently a teacher heard the child say that and reported it to the mom, who went ballistic.....
At my GF's funeral the priest was telling stories and he brought up the fact that 'uffda' is not a curse word and the fact that the daughter made a HUGE deal out of it.....
after the service i wanted to walk up to the daughter and ask her about 'uffda' and the fact that her daughter could quote every penis joke from that austin powers movie.

those same sneezing kids are the ones riding bikes w/o helmets,
skating w/o pads, go swimming w/o supervision and left to wander the streets until 11:00 p.m. They are probably pissed off that THEY can't take their pets to school (typical 'kid envy') and
despise the attention/treatment that the disabled child gets....
the kid goes home and starts to complain to their parents, knowing the a-holes will trip overthemselves to make sure that
their kids are 'safe'..
