What does ML think?

*deleted*

Upshot? Our niece's teacher is a crazy prude.

Re: What does ML think?

  • That's freaking crazy.  It's not like Barbie is at all anatomically correct.  That earns a big ol' hearty WTF from me.

  • Lots of Americans are prudes (sometimes I am, too) unless they're looking at doin' it in the butt p0rn, and it's dumb.


  • My kid is carrying around a naked Cabbage Patch. I wondered how much flak I would get for carrying it into daycare all nekkid. Apparently she'd just have some cute new duct tape clothes.

  • 3 1/2?  Like they even know what's going on.

     

    Shot first, questions later.
  • That is so freaking dumb.
  • Thats stupid.

    Send her back with masking tape thong bottoms.

  • Omg the first thing Lucy goes when she gets a Barbie type doll is "nake" it. All girls carry naked dolls. 

  • Dumb for sure.
  • I'm sure the teacher probably was being cautious b/c I can totally see a mom calling and complaining "HOW DARE YOU LET MY SON SEE A NAKED BARBIE".

    I can totally see it. 

    So, while weird, teacher was probably trying to eliminate future headaches.

    Hey, you never come around anymore.

  • What?!?

    1) Doesn't Barbie come with little lines like underwear on her already?

    2) Even if she doesn't, it's not like she's rocking nips and a moose knuckle.

    Way to teach kids to be ashamed of their bodies and that nudity is wrong. F*cking prudes.

  • That is ridiculous. A 3.5 year old's goal in life is to keep barbie naked.  And baby dolls.  You put their clothes on, and about 2 minutes later they will be naked.  It is just what they do. 

    Giant WTF, and eye roll, to the teacher.

  • That's crazy!

     

    But, I used to babysit for a girl who's mom would remove an arm or leg from all her barbies. Because otherwise they were an unattainable goal of perfection. But, having a 24" waist and DD boobs and 1 leg is totally realistic, I guess... 

  • Dumb.

    There was a naked baby doll on the floor today when I walked into daycare.

  • That's ridiculous. Why the name on the bottoms?
  • Maybe they had a parent complain in the past.  Who knows.  I agree that it is crazy.

  • Agreed that it's completely ridiculous.

    However, I do believe that the school was just watching their asssses should an uber-conservative (crazy/nutso) parent happen to observe or a bright child go home & explicitly share w/ ubr-conserv. mommy and daddy. Sorry, but really not blaming the school so much as shrugging that it's kind of the world we live in right now.

    This is what I said above '^^^^^^

    I wanted to say pasties but the word for them slipped my mind for a bit.

  • I don't find it surprising.  I think this would be typical.  I don't find school to be an embracing, happy-go-lucky kind of place.  I find school to be rigid and top-down in its approach.  The teacher is acting on the "little adult" principle that what is good and right for the adult set is good and right for the children.  I just made up all that B.S.  Still, that could be the case, right?  lol.
  • That's ridiculous.
