Wrong war, pal.

They gave kids whiskey before TV’s and tablets.

I have a degree in education. I can assure you that while I don’t recommend endless unmonitored hours of any activity for any child, understanding incorporated technology and applying it effectively across curriculum isn’t just a piece of cake for all children. Many children need to be taught how to effectively…

And than there are children who can actually repair windows and ‘make’ things work better than their parents can. It’s a case by case basis and TV is way worse than having children play video games educational or not. Watching Tv requires no interaction except staring at the TV. Playing a video game requires…

I agree. Totally. We are similar with hours/week of screentime with our kids. Kids, sometimes you’re going to be bored. If you raise kids to feel like they constantly need to be entertained, you’re raising failures.

Ok, I’ll be the other parent then. I don’t limit my kids screen time period. Why? Because I’ve found that they get bored after awhile. I’ll go into their room and they’ll have the TV on, something playing on the ipad, and they’re sitting there playing legos, ignoring both devices. It all balances itself out, all on…

every single class my kids have in school has a tech crossed curriculum. Even my sons music elective is a “music/production” class where his guitar solos are imported into a iPad app and manipulated into different beats. Last week his project was to turn an AC/DC riff into dubstep. Only the Digital natives will…

Also, bombshell for parents freaking over screen-time:
Kids get bored of screens just like they get bored of doing other activities.
My 7 year old will average about an hour of screen time, then she’s off drawing or doing something else without me hassling her to change up the routine.

And if parents are going to…

American children in the early 1800s were master cave painters. It really is a dying art.

Before then, they had TVs. Before that the radio. Before that Grandma with a book. Before that Grandma and a cave painting.

I really believe that if Cruz had stuck by whatever shred of principles he had left and continued to withhold his endorsement of Trump, he would have been in a good position in a couple of years. He’d have been hated by the Trumpkins for a little while, but after the dust settles and all the post-mortems make it…

Me RN:

Oh, please he’s done in Republican politics. He ran and was decimated. Then he refused to endorse the nominee a the RNC. Was forced into endorsing by the Party or they would primary him and not give him money to run for re-election. Then he endorses Trump and campaigns for him, two days before the video is released…

My buddy started Hoyer over Palmer this week. Moments like this are the reason I play fantasy football, so I can kick friends while they’re down and they’re forced to live in shame for a week.

I’ve got a 13 year old and a 4 year old. Parenting is easier with tablets.

You make it sound like parenting was impossible before tablets.

Ugh. Good point. At least while Nader was out there it was sort of endearing in a “Awww, well bless his heart” kind of way.

Cruz: “Quarterbacks aren’t paid to make political statements, they’re paid to get rings. Remember Larry Bird? He used to get 20 rings a game sometimes. Heck of a quarterback.”

Ted Cruz is so salty because he eats so much soup.

I really hate the fact that this asshole is going to run for President every cycle for the next 30 years. It’s like the American people having to simultaneously deal with a herpes outbreak every 4 years.
