[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a slippery slope with letting one kid show off something they think is cool. Then every kid is going to want to. Or the questions start, and the teacher loses a solid half an hour that was already designated for a specific lesson. Sorry OP. It's a rock. Life goes on.

Plus 1 million. This in a nutshell!

Yep.

Show & Tell are bygone days. I'm not even sure that "show & tell" is politically correct either.

So much for encouraging confidence, promoting speaking in a group setting, pride in ownership, and all the other positives from the 30 seconds of showing off something special to you as an impressionable kindergartner.[/quote]

What do you mean by "politically correct"? Who is offended by the concept of show and tell?[/quote]

Nobody.  It's just PP's way of diminishing the rights of others who are legitimately marginalized by "non-PC" things.  By suggesting somebody, somewhere is offended by something that is pretty much not offensive, it becomes easier to brush off those who complain about truly offensive things.[/quote]
