Really?

AURORA, Colo ? This school year, Laredo Elementary School unveiled a new sensory wall to help students process their feelings.

Laredo Elementary Reading Interventionist Heather Gaarder created the wall after noticing students needed space and time to readjust to class.

I am I the only person who gives this the mega eye-roll? What is wrong with these dysfunctional kids? Is "dysregulated" the new term for "little shits"?

Elementary age me would be totally displaying the following expression...

Bring back recess! That would give kids lots of sensory stimulation.

1- The teacher looks like she just did an 8 ball of crank.
2- Think of all the wonderful germs on the Feely Meely wall

meh, just watched the video... it's a big nothing burger. Definitely a germ haven though. After a week or two, no one will care about that "creative lady's" wall.

The thought process behind thinking such a "solution" as necessary in what disturbs me. You come in from recess, sit down, shut up and get back to work. Facilitating an intermediate step as being "best practice" is absurd. It's not like they are returning from a deep sea dive and need to acclimate to the pressure change.

That's true. It definitely strikes me as nonsense too. Well, if the school was 100% special-ed, then fine... but I don't know that to be the case.

Creating future problematic employees. (If any of them will even be capable of working).

8 year old hollohas would have avoided that sissy wall like the plague.

This is the way many 20-30s folks are. I'm in the bluest collar job ever, wearing my blue shirt, trying to make sure the kids don't throw temper tantrums. Whats wild is executive level people want it this way. You better hope the robots come soon.

Nobody wants to read about a disabled veteran that suffers all the time from a medical condition. I'd feel better if they put the resources into a shot spotter and an armed response security officer. I know I am asking for too much.

And dodge ball. You want sensory stimulation, MF'ers?

now we're talking!

In junior high and high school we called it "smear the queer". It got downright ugly in high school. But it sure was fun.

"Smear the queer" in my school growing up was basically "rugby" where you were running with the ball, trying to get to an end-zone, and could lateral it to someone on your team sideways, even while you were in the process of being tackled. There was no throwing, or positions to speak of... just run the ball and try not to get tackled by everyone else on the opposing team. It was fun. :)

[Great-Kazoo]

but the kids who were dysregulated, who had really big feelings, they would kind of go to the wall, and then they would start touching all the fabrics, and then that made them able to talk about what was bothering them.”


What in the ever lovin fuktardary is dysregulated? That ANOTHER issue people with irritable bowels have?

[BushMasterBoy]

Just build them this!

I'm sure every region had different rules, but the version I played definitely did not include teams. It was the ball toter vs. the world [emoji289] and you better run like hell or you're going to get pummeled by friends and foes until the ball was stripped from you.

So you're saying today's school kids don't partake in this game? That's a real shame.

The minions love it. Mostly because it is/was strictly forbidden at school.

Woe to the bonehead who carries the ball into the goat head sticker patch.

Even the GSD has been known to smear a minion or two.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

I?ve played both versions. The team version was a bit more sporting and just a bastardized version of rugby. One against the world was just an angry mass.
