Massachusetts preschool tells children to stop saying 'best friend'
By Greg Norman | Fox News
None of the students at a Massachusetts preschool have a best friend. And that's an order.
Pentucket Workshop Preschool's "best friend" policy is being blasted by a parent who says her daughter got upset after reportedly being told by a teacher she couldn’t use the term because it could make other students feel excluded.
"How do you police a 4-year-old from expressing their feelings?" Christine Hartwell, whose daughter, Julia, attends the Georgetown school, told FOX25 Boston. "It's outrageous, it's silly [and] it hurts.
Hartwell added: "When I asked her what was wrong she said she was really sad about what her teacher did that day."
The school does not spell out the policy in their handbook, according to Hartwell, but she told FOX25 Boston she got a letter from Pentucket's director.
"It has been our experience (which spans decades) that the use of the term 'best friend,' even when used in a loving way, can lead other children to feel excluded [...] which can ultimately lead to the formation of 'cliques' and 'outsiders,'" the letter was quoted as saying.
It adds the school will continue to discourage children from saying the term.

The educator is a sad sack loser who was never invited to the in lunch table and was always an outcast by the cliques. She always was and still is a loser
Is the child not allowed to ‘friend’ anyone on Facebook?
Or must they friend everyone?
The educator needs to read Ayn Rand’s “Anthem.”
Close the government schools NOW!
Individualism is the only sin the collectivist recognize.
There isn’t enough bandwidth here at FR to explain it.
Metal poisoning may be the only solution, with swift delivery system used.
I think they’re called “besties” now anyway.
They were not their parents favorite child...
Bitter nasty people.
The kids not in the cool kids clique know they are not in the clique.
These wanabe social engineers are not helping the kids. They should be figuring it out with the rash of school shootings that the kids who used to be jus socially awkward are being made homicidal by their interference in the normal progression of their evolution.
If left to their own devices most socially awkward individuals learn how to enter groups or form their own social groups. But because these social engineers interfere in the social development by suppressing normal development these outsiders learn a false lesson that the others are doing wrong by not accepting them are evil people deserving of punishment. The adults have tried to correct them and they still do wrong by not accepting them as they are.
“Close the government schools NOW!”
Idiotic statement.
.
This “director” has an address.
I’m just saying.

No more playing this classic from “The English Beat”

First you have to send your 4 year old to one of those kiddy prisons.
Next you have to vote to give them power and oodles of money.
The you have to pay no attention what so ever to what they are teaching until it runs over your child.
That is how.
The question is not "how" but "what". As in what are YOU going to do about it?
1. They think that everyone needs a friend, and that banning best friends will force kids to spend more time with the “isolated kids”, curing all kinds of social ills.
They don’t recognize that the problem is often poor socialization of self-centered brats that is the reason no one wants to play with them, not that they are brats because no one plays with them.
2. They think that equity means everyone is equally interchangeable. Everyone is a friend, and that requires forbidding best friends to distribute the “good feelings”.
The same motivation is why liberals are saying you’re a bad meanie if a man won’t have sex with his homosexual friend even if he’s not attracted to them. That you’re bad, cruel, immoral if you don’t have sex with the ugly person who wants you. That the lesbian is contributing to oppression if she doesn’t have sex with the man in a dress attracted to her.
They look at “Brave New World” as a utopia to be created, not a dystopia to be avoided.
You’re a bigot if you wouldn’t have sex with a gay friend

And lesbians are getting bullied for not having sex with mentally ill men in dresses who are sexually attracted to women. It is called the “cotton ceiling”.
These poor children. These so-called “educators” won’t let them be kids!
“Best friend”.....activate alarms and sirens immediately. Code BF.
