O.k., you got me on that one - no target practice at recess. Woulda beat the hell outa hopscotch...

Me, 3rd Grade 1972:

The Spooky Man

As I was walking along, I saw a man with three green noses and 15 mouths and 4 legs.
He was an ugly monster. Every evening he would rise out of the swamp and murder most everybody. And smash every bodys house.

One night a man took a powerful gun and he died by the swamp and a truck carried him away.
And that was the end of him.

THE END.

Today, you would be immediately removed from the classroom, and scheduled for an "exam".

My son is 4 as well in daycare/school. The older kids all talk about "black spiderman" and shorting people which of course he bring home and talks about. I had a chat with the teachers. He now knows that's all pretend but if you fall in the retention pond, you'll die. He's obsessed with Wolverine, which he saw on TV before I got up one morning. Somehow they can separate real from fake.

Jeff needs to be banned from these thread since he has nothing to contribute.

Most ADD cases are a freakin joke. If my son sat quietly for hours on end, I'd check him for a pulse. Hell, I had a hard time paying attention for a 50 min college class.

Agreed!
