So [chat], if I were given the power to guarantee that one book was never discovered my my kids, which one should it be?
None of them. Let them be exposed and teach them to question until they get satisfactory answers.
A reasoned person need not fear any knowledge.
Children are not reasoned people yet!
That's what the teach them part is there for. They won't become reasoned people if they're insulated from things, especially bad things.
Have them read Atlas Shrugged and show them why its crap.
Show them Godfather 3 and teach them why its horrible.
Indeed, give them the prequels so that they may learn.
Non-parent detected. Legit children cannot even make more advanced structuralistic judgements until they hit their teens or so.
They don't know why the fuck Godfather III was too on the nose and artless, they just know that Daddy Hates This Thing for some reason. Guess I'll hate it too, because my undeveloped monkey brain tells me to do so.

every child should be made to read 1984 and animal farm though
repeatedly
Probably, but if my own public school education is any indication, teachers read this post and thought you just typed "Lord of the Flies" like 7 times.
I managed to not have to read that book all the way through school. My class was the smallest so instead we read Flowers for Algenon. Interesting read.
Message passing is not function calling and eventually you will figure out why the syntax is all different.
For the most part: "Because Apple"
Ugh, come on.
It's because it has to simultaneously co-exist with existing C syntax, allow for mingling with C++ without getting confusing, and offer new features. I mean, you can't call functions that don't exist but you can certainly pass messages to objects that don't respond to them. It's actually pretty awesome.
This is what I saw as the biggest draw to it. I mean I can see its uses but it just screams "I WANT TO BE DIFFERENT" more than anything else.
bowen on

either is pretty terrifying at nine, though, I can attest

I'm not saying show little kids this stuff, clearly they're not developed enough. But you can select age appropriate lessons. Insulating children is stupid. You don't show a three year old Scarface, but you don't never let them see it. Which the original question asked.

Alright, the stuff for Leigh's last weekend before she goes home has been prepared. I have a nice B&B booked in the Hill Country. Maybe do some horse back riding or tubing depending on the weather. Or I'll suffer through some wine tastings.

imagine somebody comes to you and says "what is the empirical evidence for the effectiveness of conventional stimulatory spending in a recession, for and against"
what would an austrian, keynsian, and you say
im reading a policy exchange report and i dont have the evidence base to know where the major misleading steps are
If I were a betting man I'd imagine obj-c's and NeXT's reason for being other than Job's intervention at their near founding was because it increases the amount of work to be involved with the community so every tom dick and harry from windows doesn't take their old C++ code and go "whoop iphone app!"

children should also not be allowed to read enders game
hatchet
the hobbit
catcher in the rye
is this sarcasm
I'm not sure because we are using the internet
the giver - promotes abortion
charlotte's web - promotes lying
the lion the witch and the wardrobe - promotes running away from home
the secret of nimh - promotes theft
a wrinkle in time - promotes vigilantism
enders game - promotes racism
hatchet - provides potentially fatal survival "advice"
the hobbit - promotes neckbeardism
catcher in the rye - bad language
Animal Farm and 1984 on the other hand teach a healthy distrust of liberalism and one's government, respectively
yes it is sarcasm i like all the books mentioned above
Also, being a parent doesn't make you a magic education wizard.
I'm showing mad restraint on your behalf here, AMan. Truly, the job of magic education wizard must belong to the childless wonders in the Texas Education Agency who justify science textbooks containing a chapter on creationism, because they once taught in a public school for 3 years, and are married to one of Rick Perry's cronies.

I dunno, man. I'm like 99% right with you on the not shielding your kids from things once they're mature enough to handle it, but... is there really a moral imperative to open every single door for your kids?
Is there something inherently wrong with the idea that if there was one evil, hateful, destructive thing you could be certain they never discovered or even heard of as children, you should take that opportunity?

Here's one, Moby Dick, I tried reading it in third grade and I still haven't forgiven Melville for it. Billy Budd; however, is fantastic.
spool's comment reminds me: internet censorship, where do we stand on that?
Because when I got to thinking about it, the types of things young kids could get up to on the net is kind of terrifying, but I'm not sure what, if anything, should really be done about.
I know my parents never really bothered with it. But I remember dial up modems, and holding a pillow over the speaker because I didn't know how to turn it off on late-night pornography sprees while I was discovered masturbation.

But I want to finish reading all my weird Murakami books first.

The Hobbit is fucking huge.
My mother read it to me and my brothers.
Also the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure people only have children because they lose the waiting game with their siblings.

well except the giver, i hate that book.
What the ever living fuck was The Giver supposed to be about?
Why why why is it an English study book. There's just nothing fucking there.
