A power move would be to answer “get your own candy, you’re an adult”.
Kind of tangentially related to the tweet, but who thought it was a good idea to teach kids to associate sharing with punishment?
I think it’s because they don’t just want one or several kids eating. It’s distracting and the kids will get all whiny and fight. It’s the teacher’s job to teach them the subject and the parent’s job to teach them to not be whiny and fighty.
Natural consequence of capitalism, it isn’t that sharing is bad - it’s that sharing costs money. This leaves it to the individual to decide, and when money is tied to whether or not you eat/have a roof over your head… you get the picture.
How does this associate sharing with punishment?
Literal Pavlovian conditioning.
By threatening to make them share as a punishment for eating in class.
I did this with LSD.
so you’re the person everyone is so afraid of handing out drugs to kids
Usually when someone is handing out free drugs you take as much as they’ll let you because that shit is expensive.
Hence why they started D.A.R.E.
Drugs Are Really Expensive.
Can confirm
I mean LSD is not addictive and all but isn’t that a thing so that you get addicted and buy more? I guess it kinda depends on the context and place tho idk.
Get addicted and buy more?
No it’s so you figure out drugs are awesome and you want more there’s no addiction required.
I don’t know if that’s serious but like either addicted or not, if you consume addictive substances regularly you are almost certain to get addicted. That’s not even only for drugs it is also like a lot of the coffee, food, alcohol and more industries (with sugar addiction and all) (They are just less addictive and more normalized). A lot of other addictive activities too not only even substances.
Nah I do coke all the time like four or five days a week and I’m not addicted.
I remember lots of kids bringing bags of candy for the class on seemingly random days. I liked to bring blow pops cause it’s candy and gum. Surely my school wasn’t the only one like that.
in my primary school, kids brought in candy on their birthdays
Wasn’t this an episode of recess?
sigh another show I gotta watch.
Edit: Oh thought it was a live action show
Yes!
