EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Lazy Farmer]

You want to understand something of this generation ? You can start here.

I watched the entire 18:39 min interview. I enjoyed every minute of it. He only speaks of one generation thought.. what about generations to come?
When we had tiny kiddios, we would push them through the stores in the buggy seat and interact with the little ones. Our favorite game was.. What's that? Sounded like whus that?.. grab a box of noodles off the shelf.. show the baby and say whus that? Farther down the isle grab an apple and show the baby.. say whus that? Baby would try to pronounce it and say something funny. My Son was the funniest! He would pronounce R.C. Cola "Erk" & Hi-C juice as "hick".. lol. I miss that.
TODAY I SEE babies being pushed around in buggies glued to cell phones instead of interaction with Mom and Dad. What is going to happen to that generation if the generation the Author speaks of is the folks born in the 1980's? That was the Nintendo days, these are the smart-everything device days..
Great video Benny. Thank you for sharing!
At least I have a grandson now to play the "Whus That? Game" with. No cell phone glued to his face when we go out and about.

Always, when using bleach to sanitize your incubators, let them dry outdoors..

I agree.
The responsibility of educating the young generation IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENTS! It is naive ,or even stupid, to think that what 2 parents can't do with 1 teanage at home, a teacher can do with 25 ( or 35 in my case) teenagers in the classroom .
We are fortunate to have the obligatory army service, 3 years for men 2 for women, You can't belive what 2 or 3 years of service do to the characters of young men and women.

Yes it is. But:

1) Parenting and rules should start at day 1. Not kindergarten. Not high school. The war has already been lost. A young baby can already manipulate parents.
2) The two parents are working (at least in Canada.North America) and they prefer to hand off the kid to a device rather than interact in many cases. No is not a word in many parents' vocabulary. (No was the main word in my vocabulary)

I'm really glad I don't live there. I was already married and had built a house and was working on saving more money...I wouldn't have wanted to be in the army.

This whole downslide started before the millennials. I had fellow students who didn't know what it was to work and make their own money. They needed a good And their children were no better. No child should EVER be bored. From age 10 or so there is no reason they can't be helping clean in the house, mowing lawn, carrying groceries, shovelling snow, delivering papers, washing cars, etc. saving for their future and working for spending money. This builds character, responsibility and self-worth.
(And personally, I had an Atari.)

But I use Virkon.

Bleach offends my delicate sensibilities. I use rubbing alcohol to clean/disinfect my cell phone. (*This is not related...just an interesting note)

I am a teacher, as you know, and I had more then 2000 graduates in the last 27 years. The most miserable students that I had was the ones that didn't know their place in the social order AND that the social status is improving with time and experience. In other words knowing your borders and limitations will keep your from wondering porous - less in the wilderness of life.

I believe you. I'm still glad I didn't have to serve...I already knew who I was and had been a contributing member of society for several years prior. I am a bus driver. Not quite the same. But as long as you don't expect to bring your coffee on the bus and your students listen (and I expect they do), we're good.

(Because I'd hate to have to address you like I've had to address some teachers)

My last hatch I left the babies in too long and they pooped it up pretty good. I'm using a 50/50 bleach solution. Canadian Kaka is a messy situation.

You're not wrong! I can definitely not disagree with you on that point. However, I'm quite certain that would be fairly consistent across other parts of the world...not just Canadian booster juice.

Plus I like you. That's why I poop on your stuff.

 

[Wickedchicken6]

But I still use Virkon for poop.
It has lovely detergent sensibilities in addition to killing pathogens with one fell swoop. (Ok, with a 10 minute soak, even incubators need relaxing times too!)
