MacChine Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just a thought ... http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/10/19/national/national_30052996.php Snippet ; Schools told to repair, replace lead-lined coolers More than 3,000 schools nation-wide used lead-lined water coolers putting pupils at risk of lead contamination, the first part of a survey by the Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) revealed yesterday. Published on October 19, 2007 Obec secretary-general Kasama Voravan na Ayudhya told a meeting yesterday of a school network concerned about drinking water contamination Obec and Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) had recently surveyed 17,254 schools. It was initially found some 7,681 schools provided drinking water via water coolers, and 3,605 of them used lead-lined tanks, she said. Obec would quickly survey every other school in the country.

jacnl2000 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Who deemed that these behaviors are the "right" behaviors for children? IMO let children be children. Kids deserve to sit first class (in the front row) especially when adults place themselves in front of them and start blocking their view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangmaikelly Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 33% 5 year olds help friends 80% 4 year olds help friends 62% 3 year olds help friends. I was trying to point out that from 3 to 4 it went up and then from 4 to 5 it went down. Why was that? Why should it go up and then go down? If the survey was real it would continue to go up or continue to go down or be random not get better for a year and then get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilgoster Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Could it be that the almost 50% attrition from 4 to 5 is actually learned advanced social skills American Style? As in related news, a Sesame Street piece - showing kids voicing support for sharing food with a hungry friend - is declared communist brainwashing by a large American Political Party. Food for thought. :-^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakename Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 My Thai wife watches the soaps for about 3 or 4 hrs every night, (when she isnt drinking or playing cards with friends), and she is copying more and more the fake crying and hysterical temper tantrums, that she sees. Even though I tell her how beautiful her tanned skin is, she still thinks these straight nosed, white skin women are so beautiful. She doesnt even get my sarcasm, when I point out how stupid the dark skinned, flat nose servants are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the survey was real it would continue to go up or continue to go down or be random not get better for a year and then get worse. Probably indicates random variation (cohort effects etc) due to using a sample that's too small to give stable findings... disregard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Children aged three to five do not realise that what they do affects others' feelings and behaviour Shouldn't that read, people aged three to 90 do not realise that what they do affects others' feelings and behaviour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
