The little bastid got promoted, he's going to the 6th grade next year...congrats. But he did NOT graduate.

My facebook feed is full of freakin' mommies celebrating their 3rd graders graduation. Cheese and rice, this is the same type of thinking that has awards days where every kid gets an award. God forbid that we expect these kids to EARN something.

High school graduation should be an accomplishment the is celebrated but I think it's cheapened just a bit when we have a cap and gown ceremony for kindergarten, middle school, blah blah blah.

What's a freakin' 5th grade diploma look like? Got a picture of Barney on it?

Ive attended "advancement ceremonies" the past 2 days.. I get where hes comin from. Its the same bs as not giving a kid an 'F' because we "dont want to tell a child he failed".. Raising a generation of young folks that will expect to have everything given to them, again...

They're kids, they've worked all year and there's nothing wrong with celebrating despite your dogmatic reservations about what should and shouldn't be recognized as an accomplishment.

Agree.

Long story, but my son's teacher wouldn't give him an award he'd earned yesterday at school... turns out he'd signed up for the awards ceremony that included an $8 per plate dinner for our family and then didn't tell us, and we didn't attend... so the teacher was pissed and wouldn't give him the award yesterday...

After talking with him and my wife about it... we decided that he needed to pay the teacher the $24 and I wanted to know why he didn't get the award, even if she was pissed at him... then my son tells me "well, everyone got an award..."

wtf use is that if everyone gets one? If that's the case it's not an "award"... J is right... we're raising a bunch of entitled little asshole kids in this country. Nobody loses and everyone gets awards...

      Testing Huddle Consensus

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is ridiculous how some people react when someone disagrees with their opinion. First of all, this is before the combine and there is a lot more info coming out.  If you have locked in on a pick you are a doofus.   That is right.  A doofus.  No, that was a test.  We have fake photos, names, and we are on the internet.  It takes zero courage to call people names--see? There are people who make solid points and back them with facts.  It is not important that you change someone else's mind or prove yourself to be right; it is important that we consider all viewpoints.  WRONG THINKING: I don't give a crap if Snow agrees with me--he likes being wrong, pathetic loser. CORRECT THINKING: Snow is not in agreement with my position.  What are his reasons?  Do I still believe my position?  Hmmm.  He has some good points.  I see his reasons.  I will stay with my position, but I appreciate the mature exchange of thinking. At no point should I attack him personally because that is what turds do in sanboxes when they are 6. It is not my position to focus on him--I should focus on his position.  I am not a child. This is sarcasm, but unfortunately, necessary.

      I Think Ashton Jeanty will be the Pick at #8

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      JFC, what is wrong with the Huddle. Someone says Hurney drafted CMC and there is no correction? Our last good draft in 2017 was Gettleman drafting CMC, Samuel, Moton and Butker. Marty took over after the draft. All I know is that we have been so bad at drafting from 2018 to 2024 that people can’t even remember what we did in 2017 and before. All that said, I 100% promise to move my fandom if we take Jeanty at 8.

      Considering that currently they will not pick again until pick 57 one would think that every player in-between could be in play as well. If they really want a pure edge rusher they will pick the best available after Carter. You may be on to something there MHS.
