Science was a no brainer, they're always at the top of their grade in that subject and they want to keep it that way, he's been friends with the girl on the bus since before they started school, her grandparents live down the street from me and his lunch buddy is the ultimate tom boy, no to mention big time Disney fan. Last year that would have been my response but this year he's already talking about going to dances I'm not exactly happy I'm no longer his favorite girl.

You will always be his favourite girl

It's called the Dunning Kruger effect. A relatively unskilled person will rate their skill level higher than it is, while a very skilled person will rate theirs as lower than it is, thinking that if it's easy for them, it must be easy for everyone. So Kanye thinks he's amazing, when really, there are much more talented musicians out there...he has no idea that he's a joke to most people. And then other, more talented musicians think it's easy for everyone and underestimate their own ability. The Kanyes of the world go around acting superior, with an actual belief that they are, and they seek attention and praise, and they get a lot of negative attention/ get laughed at by people who see them for what they truly are. The more talented/skilled people don't realize there is anything special about them, so they are more humble and not seeking attention and praise, because they don't think they deserve that attention and praise. Or that's how I understand it anyway. Fascinating stuff, psychology.

What about those of us that think we are great, want the attention badly and actually are great. What category do we fall under. (other then Great)

I was thinking of that movie...something about a museum where everything comes alive. I've never actually seen it, but when you said staying the night at the Aquarium, that's what it made me think of.

Guess you'll have to ask Dunning and Kruger about that one! I have no idea!! Probably the "great" group!

Or make desserts with veggies in them!

Great idea @Songbird76, I have a really easy carrot cake recipe using baby food carrots, no chopping!

I never heard of assigned seats during lunch. In our schools you go to lunch with your class then you can sit wherever you want.

We had the same set up. There was one "popular" kids table, and there were tables for the rest of us.

 

[betty rose]

Same here.

I can't blame him.

I've noticed it's so much more relaxed over here. I remember my mom having to sign in to drop something off if I forgot it, or when I came back to visit from college, I had to sign in to visit my favorite teacher. Over here, I just walk into the school and no one bats an eye. But then, there's no front desk with a secretary, etc like there always was in the US. Half the time, you walk in and no one even sees you because all the kids and teachers are in class, the principal has a couple of different schools, so he's not always at ours, and the support staff is only like 3 people who are generally busy doing their jobs, so there's no one to ask you to sign in anywhere. But then, I'm also on the booster club (I guess that's the equivalent), so I'm often at the school for meetings to plan activities, or to decorate the entrance hall, etc, and the staff all know me. But I don't think anyone else ever gets questioned, either.

Coming from Colorado, where the Columbine shootings happened. Every school in our area, has locks on the doors, with a buzzer to be allowed in. Then you can come in if, the school is expecting you. After that you sign in, and get a name tag. This happens even when attending school events. Oh, that was in elementary school. I don't know about middle school and high school.

Your pictures just get better and betting. Thanks for all the searching to provide us something beautiful to enjoy. I've wanted to take and frame many of them.
