I’m pretty sure last year one of us shared a meme about airport goat yoga. But I bet most Americans have been stuck at an airport with anxiety and nothing to do… about a funeral we were on our way to if not our flight. And my kids aren’t particularly snarky, but I have a sweet friend with very snarky eye-rolling kids. She thinks they get it from her DH. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hot, messy, you get splattered with tiny bits of oil, and it doesn’t taste better than take out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been at steak restaurants that have definitions of the different types of "doneness" right on the menu so they and their customers will be on the same page. I had a great-uncle who was "rebellious" and liked his steak bloody which he called rare. Sorry Uncle Dudley - I love you, but that's medium/medium-rare . . . I think the well-done goes back to when there were more likely to be pathogens/etc. in anything less than well-done shoeleather . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because teachers can't keep track of which shoes and coat and boots and backpack belong to whom, let alone a toothbrush that you *really* don't want the wrong kid using. Maybe that's an American thing too, but no way I'd go for that as a teacher. You couldn't pay me enough to help 30 five year olds brush their teeth lol! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a bit different than what we would imagine in the US. (At home toothpaste is used). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 1 minute ago, Murphy101 said: Well that would make sense then. 🤷♀️ toothpaste really isn’t a requirement to brushing teeth. There is in some. One of my friends said they had them at her daughter’s school when they lived there 10 years ago. I’m sure there’s countries that don’t have or don’t need toothbrushes at school. But if a kid is going to be there for meals, it does make sense that they should get to brush their teeth. It’s just hygiene same as washing hands before meals. Do any American schools actually have children wash hands before meals? idk. I’m not a germaphobe by most standards but I don’t think it should be groundbreaking to integrate basic hygiene practices in the daily routines. I’m not petitioning the schools or anything. Just noting something I find intriguing. And there is some toothbrushing In American schools as well. (A quick google shows a school program in Alabama for example but I have seen it in schools where I have taught in the US. ). So your generalization is wrong on more than one level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 At dd’s charter school (2nd grade), kids were encouraged to brush their teeth after lunch. All the wet toothbrushes were stored in little baskets side by side in a drawer. I don’t know everyone’s thoughts on that, but it seemed soooo germy to me. Dd did not participate in the tooth brushing at school. (Plus she has multiple food allergies so proximity to everyone else’s food/mouth germs might be a downright bad idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 While I see the advantages of brushing, as a teacher I can't imagine supervising 20 first graders brushing their teeth and keeping up with their toothbrushes. The majority of mine still can't tie their shoes. C'mon parents-teach your kid to tie their shoes!! Maybe someone needs to do a Tik-Tok on shoe tying.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
