I can't help it, I'm so proud and I've just gotta share this. Got home from errands this morning and found a message on the machine from our son's principal (Buddy is 8 now and in 3rd grade). My first thought was "uh-oh", but it was good news.
Over the summer, the principal challenged the kids to read for at least 25 hours (they kept logs); their reward was to be a root beer float. Well, it seems that Buddy's log was soooo good (37 hours), they want to give him and another child a pizza party, and needed parental permission (naturally I said "yes"😉...

Jani, you have much reason to be proud of your son and of yourself. You also give me the opportunity to enjoy this happy occasion, too, by sharing the good news and I thank you for that. MS
Take it misc.kids or somewhere, such "news" is highly innapropriate for this group.

Congratulate Buddy for me, okay? Maybe even a hug, unless he's old enough to be humiliated by same. It's never too early to start appreciating books.

Oh, puhleeze! Try that kind of [censored] on a newbie, Greg; I've been here waaaay too long to worry about your opinion. Espcially about a post that was specifically marked as off topic and about kids. Can't you use a killfile yet? Sheesh...

Beaming schmeaming... that's only about 25 minutes a day... for an eight year old that's like retarded, I'm serious, deadly serious. So what happens after 25 minutes, does his widdle brain shut down. It's no wonder the kids today don't possess an IQ... sheesh, I spent at least triple that time each day just reading comic books. When I was eight years old, during summer vacation I'd mostly pull all nighters, reading RLS, Dumas, Samuel Clemens... the librarians couldn't keep up with me... does your little golden books maven even have a library card, I bet not, in fact I bet less than 10% of rfc'ers can produce a valid library card. Imagine, minutes spent reading are more important than comprehending, and what a stupid reward... that principal needs therapy.

Sheldon, Maybe the boy spends some time outdoors, maybe he helps his parents or goes with them, maybe he is a normal, healthy eight year old with many things to do. Reading at an early age is the first step to a good education. Unforrunately, if you really read as much as you claim, it seems it did not have the same effect on your learning ability. Many of your posts indicate that you did not get a good education in the field of science.

Sheldon, (T)his is a new low, even for you.
You're what's low... bragging an eight year old earned an achievement award for reading (nothing about comprehension, probably just looking at the pictures) a measly 25 hours in THREE MONTHS doesn't even make the grade were it an event in the Special Olympics Library Club. I really don't believe the fercocktah fairy tale, because what kinda reading award is a root beer float, from a school Principal no less... I could believe a book, maybe a dictionary too... but a friggin' soda, gimme a break. The OP has to be retarded too, to think any normal brained person would believe such an obvious lie.... that's tantamont to some pinheaded mommy posting how her rugrat earned an award for finally being potty trained, at age 5! I have no doubt whatsoever that OP is not quite right in her head and neither are any of yoose disingenuous me-too'ers offering your phoney baloney congratulations... for what, being an imbecile. You bottom of the barrel douche bag, what would you know about reading anyway, Matthews, you functionally illiterate [censored]... who doesn't know not to capitalize "This".

For someone who supposedly read(s) so much, your command of the written language is atrocious. You don't even seem able to properly place a question mark at the end of a sentence that is a question FFS! Face it Shelly-welly, you're not only a foul, uncouth boor with all the social skills of raw, untreated sewage, you're an uneducated one to boot.
