http://newcenturytimes.com/2016/10/06/first-graders-mock-trump-after-he-shows-up-to-their-classroom-video/As soon as Trump walked into the room, he disturbed the peace. When the childrens teacher announced, Look whos here, Mr. Trump!, the reactions were mixed to say the least. One child greeted him while another made a comment about his orange hair. Another child a kid after our own hearts couldnt help but keep repeating, Im nervous. Im nervous. And some kids completely ignored him and wouldnt even turn around to acknowledge his presence. For an egomaniac like Trump, thats just about the biggest insult you could give him.
Trumps visit was nothing short of awkward, proving that he and children just dont mix. You can watch these kids mock Trump in the footage below youll fully appreciate the fact that they have NO filter:
Much like his track record with most of American voters, Trumps history with children isnt very good. Lets not forget what happened when Trump recently visited Little Miss Flint a young activist in Flint, Michigan and she looked absolutely terrified when he was standing next to her!

I'd personally leave hostile convictions based on nothing much to the kind of conservatives who enjoy them so much.

(35,356 posts)because they repeat back to us what we tell them. Naturally, we believe we show great insight and wisdom.
Once read about teaching critical thinking to elementary school kids--3rd graders, I think it was. They were great critical thinkers, one set observers said.
Another pointed out that all they did was cite facts and arguments that the teacher had told them were the truth. Their critical thinking was, to a very large extent, rote learning. What made it sound like critical thinking was the views that were expressed by the teacher, in line with the first group of observers'.
So, yeah. Mostly they were pre-terrified because they were inadvertently (or advertently, so to speak) pre-trained. To say that, of course, is to suggest that their great insight and wisdom, so wisely and intelligently mirroring our own, isn't.

(58,785 posts)I'm always fascinated delighted when our little grandchildren reveal what and how they're thinking, and invariably impressed and proud. But it'll be years before they achieve full brain development.
Right now Donald Trump gives us insight into what a person whose emotional development anyway had stalled at a childhood level can be like.

My kid is more involved into this election than I'm comfortable with, he talks about why racism is bad and thinks tRump acts angry...
I don't know if kids should be this involved, I like that we can actually have a character conversation on tRump and why his character is bad and why lying is bad but is there some loss of innocence or is it already too late and tRump ruined it for everyone?
Isn't there a study of kids being affraid of tRump?
I just didn't think kids were this aware...
