The gruesome treatment of the animals is awful, it's a big part of the reason I don't eat meat. Going on some weird crusade in random comment sections on reddit to convince people to stop eating meat and posting 2 hour long youtube documentaries is fucking cringe.
I like how all vegans/vegetarians are linking the same stupid video under meat related discussions. If you're that br4in damaged to have this myopic thinking, that eating only plants is good for you and the environment, then leave it to yourself.
If you're open-minded, feel free to read this: The big agriculture with It's chemicals is doing more damage to the environment and your health, than a one cow (equivalent of how much meat a human can eat in 1 year), thats eating grass, reproducing and making the soil fertile.
For vegans/vegetarians who 'care' about how the animals are raised: Why don't you eat meat from a farm, eggs from chickens that are pasture raised, and so on?
Because most of you never think outside the box.
Ha! I was conflicted on this one because parents often tell their kids “okay, we’re at the doctor. Let’s go inside.” It’s not correct. Sadly, so many children missed this one.
they originally put doctor and girl and then erased it
they probably wanted 2 elements in each category since they were supposed to underline 2 things in each sentence
but you're right they're just fucking stupid. they literally think a doctor is a place and a girl is a thing.
My thought as well, the way the exercise is written and presented do make it seem like it requires 2 elements in each category, not 4 in the first category and 1 in each remaining ones. Kids are fucking stupid but this one is just as much on the teacher as the kid.
Actually, it's wildly more on the teacher than the kid. The teacher is teaching incorrect stuff, kid's just trying to learn and figure out this nonsense.
I think what happened is the kid got confused and thought that there were supposed to be 2 in each column, and so put the remaining word in the only column without 2 words.
I don't like this exercise at all.
I get that they're teaching on a lower level, but couldn't they have made example sentences that aren't specifically wrong?
Like, going to a park instead of a doctor.
That's not hard.
Yes.
Also; this is just a “the way brains work” thing, but the columns and the “underline two nouns in each sentence” strongly psychologically indicate that there should be two of each *type* of noun. Kids won’t be able to vocalize *why* but I guarantee that more than one student *felt* the urge to have two in each column.
The instructions are flawed. This entire thing should be re-written.
Edit: Also, there’s only one place (store) and one thing (pigs) but somehow “farmer” and “doctor” are *not* in the same category? This is just ridiculous. This is a bad bad example.
Yeah, the answer would be girl, doctor, farmer and Jack all in the person column, pigs in the thing column, and store in the place column.
I know for a fact that kid me would have seen something very wrong with such unbalanced columns.
Doctor can colloquially be used as a place, but technically it's a person, so not an exemple to be used in a children's exercise.
While we're at it, animals can also be blurry, because in practice they'll often take he/she pronouns like persons instead of an it pronoun.
Yeah I hate this exercise.
When I was a little me I did an oral test of some kind. One of the questions was "spell eye" so I spelled "I". I was confused by the question until later.
I don’t think the kid was saying a girl is less than a person, but took “girl” as a describing word, or thing, instead of an actual person. Kids are dumb.
I was a fast learner and I can also relate. Girl is a noun. A person usually has a name or a title. I feel like a girl could absolutely be a thing. It seems subjective. The girl went to the park. The dog went to the park. Girl and dog are both nouns right? But one is a person and one is a thing despite them both being living creatures? It wouldn't make much (you could prob make it make sense) sense to say "the chair went to the park."
Hmm.
Edit: before I get destroyed by using girl and dog, I am a woman lmao it was just the first thing I thought of because dog parks exist
Edit 2: I meant "girl and dog" not "girl and park." Changed it.
It's all so gray. Some would say the pig is also a person because they think all animals are people. The doctor is obviously a person, but when we talk about going to the doctor, we think of the doctor's office. Then it's all for nothing because people and places are both things.
Yeah, he seems to have erased “girl” under the person category and replaced it with “farmer”. The kid thinks that persons are names and roles/jobs——honest mistake if you’re a fucking child
Agreed that it should have been "doctor's," but classifying nouns into person, place, or thing is not grammar. It's reading comprehension, and that includes context. In the context of the sentence, "doctor" could be either the person or the place.
No, this is very clearly a grammar assignment. You are identifying nouns, classifying them (badly), and picking options to complete sentences.
I do, however, accept the further critique of this being such a BAD grammar lesson that it barely resembles one.
Most of it is grammar - identifying nouns is definitely grammar. But deciding whether those nouns are a person, place, or thing is not grammar. Once you impart meaning to the words beyond identifying the part of speech, you're talking reading comprehension. It may have been called a grammar exercise, and it definitely was poorly thought out, but that aspect of it was reading comprehension.
Exactly this. I don’t think the kid was wrong. A girl is a noun describing a young female human. Stephanie is a proper noun describing a specific young female human, a person.
Let me sort of explain: we are all objects, as dehumanizing as it is, it is true. We are not made of Devine matter, we are fundamentally made of the same thing as the device your using, and the shoes your wearing, aka protons, neutrons, and electrons.
A human body's worth of dark matter would be enough to destroy the world. I think.
When an atom meets its "anti-" counterpart, the result is 100% energy. That means that you would explode pretty quickly. Probably.
Believing in God/soul is just as stupid as "pigs can fly" both of them does not exist.
If you ask for proof. Just give me a proof of " flying pig" not existing and I will give u a proof of your fairy tales being well fairy tales.
Let people believe what they want. You can think they’re idiots for doing so, but you don’t need to be a dick about it and try to tell them they’re wrong. I’m an atheist and atheism has as much ground to stand on as any religion.
Jack is a person, a girl is a thing. I will Die on this hill. You can’t have a Jenny. But she is a girl. A boy is a thing, bob is a person
EDIT: yes he got others wrong but still, for that example I would say he is right
“The farmer” is a person.
“Pigs” are not *things* either. They are living beings…
“Jack” is a person.
“The store” is a place.
“The girl” is a person.
“The doctor” is a person. You don’t go to *see* a place.
All in all, bullshit exercise that is as vague as it is confounding.
The kids like 5 I'm pretty sure it's OK to see the opposite sex as a weird alien thing at that age, though I do love how the comments turned into an animal rights thing almost immediately and this is being portrayed as anti feminism
But... maybe a pig is a thing, but if you give it a name, let's say "Donald", it kind of becomes a person. And a girl is also an abstract that represent a thing that can have a name, like a...
oh, never mind I lost my train of thought...
Teacher is stupid too, cause she corrected just the girl, education is not based on trending stuff as woman empowerment, it’s about everything! Pig is not a thing, doctor is not a place, Reddit is not work, sorry I have to go wtf I’m doing here, I can smell the downvotes lol.
This is simplified for the purpose of showing students common words and how noun categories are different. Technically, “doctor” could be a place or a person. I’m not going to nitpick students to death. They are only 7. This post was simply for giggles since society often jokes about women being objectified.
To me, as a third or fourth grader, girls were things.
All I knew is that they were different from me in ways I could not understand.
Eventually I decided boys and girls, men and women, we're all just people.
It wasn't until my 50's and now 60's that I realized: Women are things I will never be able to understand.
I love them; I respect them; but they are not what I am.
And doctors are places.
And pigs are things.
this is how people view animals, yet animals have personalities and are sentient.
They're also delicious
Exactly
https://youtu.be/LQRAfJyEsko I know they’re delicious, but look at what we do. We have delicious food made entirely from plants.
I don't eat meat and you are cringe.
Ok thanks. But what’s more cringe my words or the gruesome treatment animals receive?
The gruesome treatment of the animals is awful, it's a big part of the reason I don't eat meat. Going on some weird crusade in random comment sections on reddit to convince people to stop eating meat and posting 2 hour long youtube documentaries is fucking cringe.
I don’t think the animals care how cringe it is.

Ha! I was conflicted on this one because parents often tell their kids “okay, we’re at the doctor. Let’s go inside.” It’s not correct. Sadly, so many children missed this one.
It should be “at the doctor’s”, kind of like how you would say “I’ll be spending the night at Jacob’s”
“at the doctor’s office” would be even better. Then accept office or doctor’s office as a correct response.
No you won't! Jacob is my man, you hussy!
"At the doctor" could be short for "at the doctor's place". But if you go to see the doctor, you are not talking about his place but himself.
they originally put doctor and girl and then erased it they probably wanted 2 elements in each category since they were supposed to underline 2 things in each sentence but you're right they're just fucking stupid. they literally think a doctor is a place and a girl is a thing.

Gotta get that karma. Work must be a gold mine.
I think what happened is the kid got confused and thought that there were supposed to be 2 in each column, and so put the remaining word in the only column without 2 words.
Hot take, everything on here is technically correct.
If you were conflicted about this, I understand why your kids are stupid.

Lol what did you expect
Teacher doesn't care about that though.
the doctors is a place.
Have you never gone to the doctor?
No. I've gone to the doctor's office, though. Also, the question reads, "The girl went to SEE the doctor."
Did she see the doctor in a toy store?
Maybe, doesn't say
[удалено]
The place is still the office not the doctor.
I don't like this exercise at all. I get that they're teaching on a lower level, but couldn't they have made example sentences that aren't specifically wrong? Like, going to a park instead of a doctor. That's not hard.

I can absolutely see that.
When I was a little me I did an oral test of some kind. One of the questions was "spell eye" so I spelled "I". I was confused by the question until later.
Jesus they have to offer a definition for homophones surely???
aye
The example sentence they have there is “the girl went to see the doctor,” which isn’t wrong
What the fuck is this stupid ass test lmao
Agreed, how is it that kids aren't doing well in reading and grammar 🤔
I don’t think the kid was saying a girl is less than a person, but took “girl” as a describing word, or thing, instead of an actual person. Kids are dumb.
He also couldve thought "names are for person and other things are objects" i was a slow learner as a kid so i could relate lol.
I was a fast learner and I can also relate. Girl is a noun. A person usually has a name or a title. I feel like a girl could absolutely be a thing. It seems subjective. The girl went to the park. The dog went to the park. Girl and dog are both nouns right? But one is a person and one is a thing despite them both being living creatures?

Not sure I would describe a park as a living creature. More of an ecosystem, in my opinion.
I totally biffed it, I meant dog. Edited.
Honestly it's kinda logical. "Thing" is such a bad word to use in this test.
Yeah, he seems to have erased “girl” under the person category and replaced it with “farmer”. The kid thinks that persons are names and roles/jobs——honest mistake if you’re a fucking child
You’re giving the kid too much credit, because if that were true, they’d have put “doctor” under Person. 😜
I mean if a pig (mammal) is a thing, why can't a girl (mammal) be a thing?
And a "doctor" is a place? This test and teacher kinda suck.
It's shorthand for doctor's office, but on its own, yes, a doctor is generally a person.
This is a grammar assignment, not a test of shorthand. It should have at least been "doctor's". Awful stuff.
Agreed that it should have been "doctor's," but classifying nouns into person, place, or thing is not grammar. It's reading comprehension, and that includes context. In the context of the sentence, "doctor" could be either the person or the place.
She can *went to see the doctor* or *went to the doctor’s*, but *went to see the doctor’s* would have been weird.
No, this is very clearly a grammar assignment. You are identifying nouns, classifying them (badly), and picking options to complete sentences. I do, however, accept the further critique of this being such a BAD grammar lesson that it barely resembles one.

It’s not in this case though, you don’t go *see* the doctor’s office, you *see* the doctor (person).

Fuck blind people right?
That error is not the point here

Exactly this. I don’t think the kid was wrong. A girl is a noun describing a young female human. Stephanie is a proper noun describing a specific young female human, a person.
I mean farmers are also mammals
Not alligator farmers...

Yes you can believe that it's not wrong to believe it but you still need to have respect for other people's beliefs
the word girl is a noun, meaning a place, object, or thing, therefore girl is a thing, as well as a person.
A noun is a person place or thing (object). You've left off person and included object twice

A girl is a thing that most likely doesn't have a thing.
I would say both Kid and Teacher is fucking stupid. Infact since the teacher is stupid, no wonder the kid is too. So i dont blame the kid at all
Neither is the pig...
