I wonder if Shane gets harassed on the regular by fakey psychics trying to call him a demon because he cuts through the usual dramatiques of your average ghost show like a hot butter patty.

Guys, you are missing out on this! This happened, in a kids show, and everyone still accepted it. Nobody made a big deal out of it! This is great.

Thank you, PBS Kids. This is from the brand new episode of Arthur btw, Mr. Ratburn And The Special Someone.

[micaxiii]

Yeah what really makes this significant imo is that Mr Ratburn is a character who’s been on the show since the very beginning.

Whenever we see these kind of things they usually bring in a cousin or aunt/uncle for one episode only and then never be seen again or if they do they don’t have any lines because they were voiced by a celebrity.

This is their teacher and the kids watching know him and have known him for a long time! I know him from when I watched this show as a kid!

adulthood is just a constant struggle of, “man, i want cookies for breakfast, but I also recognize this is a bad nutritional decision.  On the other hand, the only one who can stop me is me.  i know that fucker’s weaknesses.  i could totally take me in a fight.”

“Batman has more than one son,“ I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right,” I hear. I look around for the owner of the voice. There in the fifth row, he stands: Bruce Wayne himself.

[slightlyburntcinnamonroll]

“What does he know about Batman” the crowd replies and resumes booing. Bruce Wayne discreetly leaves the room. In an unrelated turn of events, a voice speaks from above. “She’s right,” I hear. There crashing through the skylight: Batman.

What y’all think ‘gifted child’ discourse is saying: I used to be special and now I’m not and that makes me sad.

What ‘gifted child’ discourse is ACTUALLY saying: The way many educational systems treat children who’ve been identified as ‘gifted’ is actively harmful in that it a. obliges kids to give up socialising with their same-age peers in favour of constantly courting the approval of adult ‘mentors’ who mostly don’t give a shit about them, b. demands that they tie their entire identity to a set of standards that’s not merely unsustainable, but intentionally so, because its unstated purpose is to weed out the ‘unworthy’ rather than to provide useful goals for self-improvement, and c. denies them opportunities to learn useful life skills in favour of training them up in an excruciatingly narrow academic skill-set that’s basically useless outside of an institutional career path that the vast majority of them will never be allowed to pursue.

[bananonbinary]

also: the way “gifted” children are taught largely just rewards them for already knowing things or having a specific skill come easily to them, and thus not only gives them severe anxiety about asking for help or not knowing something right away for fear of disappointing those adult mentors, but also actively discourages them from learning HOW to learn things and pick up new skills, thus sabotaging any life they might try to pursue outside of that institutional career.

TRU FAX.

People (always adults) specifically punished me for not magically knowing things. “You read at a college level but don’t know how to make toast?” No, because teachers taught me to read and mom drives me to the library every week but I’ve just gotten old enough to touch the toaster. It’s not the same, Gary.
