@Taters0169 @Jill_Marjeta @MbarkCherguia The PeopleMover starts and ends in the same spot. They’re not using it to get around the park.

@Jill_Marjeta @MbarkCherguia ...and they're on the people mover. Perhaps is they actually WALKED AROUND THE PARK THEY COULD RIDE OTHER RIDES!

Anyone else find it WEIRD when adults are OBSESSED with Disney??

@Hania16836 Why don’t kids play outside anymore? I wonder why?

@JimShull You can’t get on the train without a virtual queue pass.

Pity the cast members who will have to deal with parents of preschoolers. Wait in line for the train, walk to Conversation Station, no theater but the hospital is open to see sick animals. The live animals remain so where is their space for Bluey?

@SaraJoh69652366 @logicalandmath @HannahWardEdu Omg no one has reading comprehension anymore. It has to be done as a partnership with the pre-k/daycare and must be done before K. If a child is daycare for 8 hours a day, there has to be follow through. Mandates force crappy parents to not be lazy.

@princessbrulee @logicalandmath @HannahWardEdu 40 hours a week in daycare is still way less time than with parents. Potty training is a parental responsibility. If you can't or won't do it, do have kids.

This school board just unanimously voted that toilet training other people's children is now a staff responsibility at their public schools. Not kids who need special accommodations. ALL the kids. What is a parent's job now exactly? What can parents reliably be expected to do?

@SHHeile @HannahWardEdu Universal pre-k includes age 3 in a lot of places. You realize I’m FOR mandating potty training before kindergarten, right?

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu age 3. That's plenty of time and I am absolutely not for "universal pre-K" .......

@SHHeile @HannahWardEdu Right. So working it out is making potty training mandatory. Who mandates that? The schools. If the kid attends universal pre-k, meeting milestones should be part of the curriculum and mandatory for advancement. Potty training is a milestone.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Stop it. This is not...at all.....a school issue. It should NEVER be a school issue or teacher issue. This is a parenting issue. Work it out, whatever that looks like or they simply are unable to attend.

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu Big difference between a teacher “pushing” something and kindergarten saying absolutely no admittance without potty training. It’s a solution to a problem. We don’t need compassion (SPED excluded of course), we need stricter standards.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Well yes, public pre-k should be mandating regulations on potty training and making it clear what that means. Again, if they can’t pull their pants up and down etc, they are not trained. That said I do think teachers are pushing and telling parents these things generally.

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu Can’t mandate who has kids. Shitty people have kids. I’m speaking more about public pre-k and public K and it IS the job of those institutions to set societal standards.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Not the job if childcare workers to get parents to parent. If you think your kid is going to kindergarten in a diaper or if you think a preschool teacher will potty train them FOR you, you’re a shitty parent and should not be having kids.

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu It wasn’t a slight against childcare workers at all. They don’t set the standards, admin does. Public universal pre-k right now doesn’t mandate potty training, and they’re letting it slide even for K. We can blame parents but we can also say no, it’s not ok and MAKE them do it.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu I do think we’re saying similar things but I differ in that I’ve never seen a childcare worker NOT support potty training. There’s a difference between support and expecting them to do the brunt of it which many parents do.

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu And if you were dragging your feet and the center said, well, he can’t go to kindergarten until he does, you would have gotten it done right? If we allow parents to be lazy they will.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu My child goes to childcare. When I potty trained him the only expectation I had for the teacher was to take him to the bathroom when he asked, and at first maybe ask or remind him every hour. That’s it. The rest I did at home.

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu You’re saying the same thing as me. Parents shoulder most of the blame. Childcare centers also have to make it a priority and work together. People are inherently lazy by nature. If we water down societal norms, they’ll take advantage. We have to put our foot down and require it.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu I work in childcare currently and have for over a decade. We will help train. But the parents have to put in the majority of the work or it is not possible in most centers staffed only for the ratio. If you say you trained your kid but you mean you take them every 15 mins…

@logicalandmath @HannahWardEdu Might want to work on the logic part of your user name. Logically, if pre-k potty training is a goal and potty training is a requirement for K, it solves the problem. Parents will conform because they have to. You want to solve the problem or just complain?

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu All the blame. It is child abuse and neglect

@Brit_Stone @HannahWardEdu So they need to work in tandem. Like I said. I worked in a preschool for a long time and helped potty trained 100s of kids in tandem with parents. It can be done when it’s done properly and is a priority, which it was for us. It was VERY rare to have a child over 4 not trained.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Ya, no. Childcare workers can help and support potty training but the parent is responsible for training their child. A childcare teacher cannot reasonable do what should be a one on one or two on one job while also caring for and maintaining the safety of an entire class.

@sometherapist You probably don’t need as much protein as you think you do.

So it turns out getting enough protein while keeping calories reasonable is actually really really hard

@0Beanie05923291 A lot of places will prosecute parents if they leave a 9 year old home alone or a 11 year old unsupervised out of the home. Heck in my state you can’t even leave a child under the age of 14 in the car while you run into a store for 5 minutes.

Children are being deprived of opportunities to test their wings in low-risk situations which is resulting in many of them never taking flight as young adults.

@FixingEducation Pushing children ahead instead of implementing remedial programs and holding them back. Lack of accountability at school in the form of no more after school detention, zeros, failing grades, etc. Lack of pen and paper and the use of spelling and grammar check. Lack of phonics.

Educators…what are the biggest reasons this is happening?

@blocht574 @HannahWardEdu A lot has changed and unfortunately most of it is not in a good way. In an attempt to be inclusive and not offend anyone, we’ve just watered down societal standards instead of helping those who need it.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Ok, must have changed my oldest was in a district provided program at 3 and required potty training.

@logicalandmath @HannahWardEdu I’m sure you can read the part where I said parents do have blame. But if kids are spending 40+ hours a week in daycare and prek programs, we need to enforce potty training requirements in those places where it’s age appropriate so the milestones are met before it’s a K issue.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu There's a reason why it's easy and the reason why it's easy is because it is the parents fault. It is 100% their responsibility to make sure that their kids know how to piss and shit. It's a basic body function. Make teachers drive to the house and Prepare dinner? Lazy parents!!

@blocht574 @HannahWardEdu Most state-funded Universal pre-k does not have potty training requirements. Private institutions can and usually do.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Daycare sure, not preschool! Most Preschools require potty training but many daycares also offer preschool! Seems the line between daycare and preschool has been blurred

@blocht574 @HannahWardEdu Preschool has changed. They now start at 3, and it’s not considered delayed to not be potty trained by 3. Also a lot of kids have been in daycare for most of their life and there’s very little oversight. It’s a parental duty but it’s also a co-duty with preschools and daycare.

@princessbrulee @HannahWardEdu Potty training is a parenting duty, not preschool or Kindergarten! When my kids went to Preschool being potty trained was a requirement!
