Just in the Schoolyard, here.
Video filmed by a schoolmate showing the boy hugging and
kissing the girl in the Schoolyard was used as evidence.
Children must understand that the
same social interaction rules apply, whether in the Schoolyard or on a social networking website.
I still hear the negative things people used to call me in the Schoolyard and I still see that girl.
We will one day see those again who have“fallen asleep in Christ”(v. 18)- grandparents and parents, friends and neighbors,
or perhaps even old Schoolyard crushes.
Knees tend to suffer from them the most, but
they can also appear on the hands(when a child falls off a bike or in the Schoolyard).
Linda Lewis appears in the song's video, with Cat Stevens singing to her, as they portray former schoolmates,
singing to each other on a Schoolyard merry-go-round.
There are the Schoolyard bullies who rule the recess,
lunchroom and hallway dynamics, shoving meek boys into lockers or roughing them up for no good reason.
Others, like Edible Schoolyard founder Alice Waters,
argue that experience in the garden can have a transformative impact on a child's worldview, making sustainability“the lens through which they see the world.”.
What has always been a Schoolyard problem(especially for me, as a small and bookish child)
has crossed over to the office, the factory, the job site, the restaurant, and the retail store.
In an era of Schoolyard ball bans and debates about safe tobogganing,
have we as a society lost the appropriate balance between keeping children healthy and active and protecting them from serious harm?
When big things happen at any scale- in your child's Schoolyard or in a refugee camp on the other side of the world-
it is completely natural and normal to be shocked and disturbed by them.
A: Even when a child gets strong, positive messages about her body at home,
she gets a completely different message in the Schoolyard, in the media and in the cultural air we breathe:
that how you look is more important than who you are.
