Dear Paul1405,

I do not appreciate you explaining to me what onthebeach meant by his remark. I asked him not you and hope he will tell me why he wrote what he did. You have previously explained onthebeach to me. The most qualified person to explain why onthebeach wrote what he did is onthebeach.

"the announcement reveals teachers at the school have found the practice to be 'a great way to expand children's energy and reduce fidgeting'"

Does this mean all children or just children who are sensitive to noise?

Isn't the 'friendship seat' just another way of making a child a target for bullies? It also seems to be counter productive in helping kids develop skills of interaction. There will be no friendship seat when they go to work or college.

Hi Paul,

Unsafe Schools program. Roz Ward. Marxist. QED.

And by the way, gender fluidity ? DNA.

Hey Toni,
You did make a valid point, but then so did Is Mise.
Check and Checkmate? Not sure.

A parent of a child without ASD might argue that their child's behavior is being policed (and that their child may potentially be punished) in relation to issues that do not apply to them which is unfair; in the same way a parent of a child who doesn't have gender identity issues might oppose aspects of the Safe Schools program.

If one truly thinks about it, these politically correct social changes are not really democratically based; minority groups deciding aspects of social behavior over the majority.

Some may argue that if a child who exhibits such a medical disorder that would require blanket special treatment of all students should then in fact go to their own specialised school.

The rise in Autism rates is concerning however and their probably are a lot of kids currently in regular schools with ASD.

Yep the homosexual lobby fixated on sex now wanting not only to flaunt their habits but to sexualise kids in the name of safe schools. How dumb can our uni's reduce people to be. One of the founders of 'safe'schools in Canada now in prison for molesting kids.

What rot. There is no way mere school teachers can ban anything as innocuous as clapping. If the kids want to clap when it's appropriate, what can the idiots possibly do about it? Schools are part of the community, and there are no laws in the community banning people from clapping or, referring to each other as girls. This is the stuff of April Fools' Day. I hope the idiots are being slow clapped whenever they appear appear in the school yard. The hole thing is so stupid that I doubt that it is even true. More likely to be the invention of some media moron.
