I had intro to social work last night, by far my best class this semester, not to mention the only one i can remotly sit through without intensly fidgeting.... the downside.. this woman gets worse every freaking week!!. yesterday we all set down and to our wonderous && happy suprise she did not show up for class. well a half hour into it she struts in and announces she is so late cause her daugters sick... my guess is she is dead because someone told 50 cent she said he was ugly and killed her... anyways 20 minutes later her phone rang and the teacher answered it cause thats what he does.... and then at the end of class she wanted to know if we prefered cookies or brownies because she wanted make somethign for the next class....
huh?! thats funny i could have sworn i was in college....strange..
but on that note. i was reading the times earlier this week and came across and article on healthy eating in schools. i remember when i was a senior and we were calling my atheletic director a cupcake nazi for wanting to band sugary snacks and now his idea of how eating in school seems to have become quite common. Now i for one am not going to lie to myself and say obesity in america is not a problem, nor am i going to say that we shouldnt take action to do all that we can to prevent it. but heres where i draw the line. elementary schools. i am not saying don't update the lunch menus so that the kids aren't eating undercooked pizza, but one of the BEST parts of elementary school is that you celebrate every holiday from christmas to ground hogs day and if you can't bring in cupcakes or other treats you're taking away part of being a kid. what the heck do room parents do now-a-days. it jsut upsets me. i mean were killing the idea of being a youth with all this technology and these parents who are just giving spoiling them or forcing them to grow up to quickly but taking away something so simple as bringing in cookies on your birthday is just another step to taking away childhood altogether.
and I am sure many of you think i sound stupid. but if you're so into your life that you can't sit back and remember how excited you were because the room mom's were bringing in candy for halloween and you were going to go fake tricker treating in school or because i was your birthday and everyone was excited because your mom made the best cupcakes then you need a vacation from work to disney...
VIVA LA CHILDHOOD.
