Guess theres not many childcare educators on Lemmy as the reddit community is always super active.
It’s not pinned on mobile for me.
Behaviourism (reward/punish to influence behaviour) was revolutionary 100 years ago, it’s pretty outdated by today’s educational paedagogy.
You might get a few short term “wins”, but all you’re doing long term is teaching them to focus on the reward. They’re not learning an intrinsic value to the actions, and as such will be less likely to follow through once you’re not in the picture to punish/reward (e.g. at school, as teenagers doing teenager things, etc)

Tibetans told VICE World News that the meaning of this common expression used to tease and teach children is completely lost in cultural interpretation and its English translation. The correct phrase in Tibetan for this joke is “Che le sa”, which roughly translates to “Eat my tongue.” English is the Dalai Lama’s second language and Indian news outlets have previously reported that the leader speaks in broken English at public events.
[…]
In a Youtube video, Jigme Ugen, a second-generation Tibetan refugee living in the U.S., explains how this display of affection was born out of a game played between the Tibetan elderly and children. Kids who go up to their grandfather, for instance, are asked to kiss their grandfather’s forehead, touch their noses and kiss them.
“Then [the grandfather] says that I’ve given you everything so the only thing left is for you to eat my tongue,” Ugen said. “The child probably never gets the candy or money but gets a beautiful lesson about life, love and family.”
tl;dr: A harmless translation issue.
A public company should totally be allowed to ban someone for hate.
Why wait until they commit a heinous act to try to stop the spread of them?
Why the fuck apologise for that? Did some bigoted fucksticks get upset? Good.
They should rebrand to Mariland
Sounds like a good move.
Anyone who may be harmful to others has an exception, so there’s no risk cops won’t say try to stop a kid with a knife trying to murder others.
And any of the children are still going to get their details taken down, it’s not like they’ll escape this ever catching up with them just because they don’t get locked up on the day.
This way a lot of it can ideally be chased up by more appropriate social workers, and with proper training compared to cops on the street.
Scrap the subsidies entirely. They’re harmful and fucking over the industry.
Stop subsiding private businesses who rate hike each year yet pass none of it into the resources, building, children, or educators.
And finally pay educators better, you want high quality education? You’re not getting it when your educators rarely stay more than a year into the industry and lack all deep long term institutional knowledge.
Not to mention we’re deeply understaffed as is, and you want to put more children in when we cannot meet the demand already existing, and no a free fucking tafe course is not getting educators into the industry.
This is policy made by people who don’t step foot in the class and have zero idea of the industry.
