That was my thought.

Yep it’s mostly girls doing this. I remember lots of list like this going around in middle school all generated by girls. It kind of weird that boys in middle school would be into writing list and passing it around. Most are into fortnite not girls. Seem like a lot of work. Bet this is a fake post.

Op, it isn’t a fake post. Kids were talking about it for ages after school today. Apparently it started in one homeroom and spread to other kids. They said some girls said they should do the same thing for boys but they didn’t agree. Some girls were crying because of how mean the list was.

This happened in one of my kids classes but it was organized and driven by the girls.

I’m so upset that this is happening in 4th grade. I talked with the girls who think it’s stupid and apparently have been talking to their class advisor about it, but I could also tell that some of the girls were hurt about it and they said some of the other girls were even Moreno upset and were crying at school. I know kids are stupid and can be mean but this seems over the top for 9 & 10 year olds!

I agree this seems over the top. My daughter is currently in 4th grade at a small independent school. Cannot imagine something like this happening in her class. Seriously. I can't believe all the people who think this is no big deal. They are 9 and 10! What are our kids learning these days. It makes me very sad.

That’s very different from ranking all the girls against each other and spreading it around publicly.

Bullshit.

My son's 5th grade class ranked classmates by which ones they would want to kill first.
So it could be worse.

I taught my girls how to say, I dont give a $hit to such boys making lists or girls telling them to fill out such lists.

The BJ lists in middle school are worse.

Not that I think it's great to do but didn't any of you write out 'marry' lists with your friends in elementary school? I still remember the name of the boy who was always my first rank choice in 4th grade.

Those of you who ranked or think girls ranking boys they want to marry is the same, do those rankings only take “hotness” into account or are they more personality based?

I am PP who posted above about remembering this and for sure it was about how "hot" they were, full stop. Definitely physical appearance. I don't remember anyone talking about anything else. We didn't use the word hot, though. I think that's newer than I am, lol.

Boymom moron.

Isn’t this essentially a slam book? Those were not allowed when I was on school and you were suspended if you were found with one. They typically had lists ranking other kids and were considered in the same category as bullying.

Yup, this is the future Brock Turners and Brett Kavanaugh's of the world.

Does #boymom work here? I don't know, I have daughters.
