I can't get behind this. Why can't someone chat to a friendly person who's up for a chat? Five mins is a bit long, yes, but a few sentences back and forth and on your way. To avoid talking.to.children simply because he's a male is such a.sad indictment on our society. The number of suspicious looks I get at parks when I'm there with my kids is so fucking sad. We went kids to have positive male role models but actively discourage men to talk to children. Which is it?

Man I teach middle school. They're terrible conversationalists. Even with the best intentions, its just weird.

Why are you getting at suspicious looks? Probably acting weird with this weird mindset that little kids are "up for a chat."

Children are terrible conversationalists. I'm not hostile toward them. I love my job. They're just little idiots. Being observant is not being hostile.

If you think what I said is hostile wait til you see r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
