Students are only allowed to purchase 1 ice cream and are not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend.
Absolutely deranged. The hyper-individualism is just beaten into you over there huh
I hope there is some totally chad student:
I purchased one ice cream and gave it to him.
You aren’t allowed to give your ice cream to a friend!
He’s not my friend.
You aren’t allowed to give your ice cream to a friend!
Fuck you.
No sharing, only selfishness!

Yes
Instead of schools just providing materials for the classrooms, each family has to buy their own kid a dedicated set of supplies. You could pool the supplies and distribute news ones as needed, but if you do this for anything beyond tissues, parents start freaking out because “I bought MY child that SPECIFIC crayon set and it’s not fair that OTHER kids gets to use it because THEIR parents didn’t care enough to get them a special set.”
The only problem with that is if people have other needs. I.e. in terms of different paper or texture feelings etc. However this, too, is easier when you know the standard and can see if that fits you.
Yeah, there would have to be stuff in place to make accommodations for sure. But we already do that for plenty of materials and needs. And currently most differentiation in materials is because parents want to splurge so their kids can have the “nice” things
Genuinely one of the most evil sentences I’ve ever read
Seriously
Preventing kid’s natural inclination to be kind to their friends by making a rule against being kind to your friends. Sick.
In bad country children are indoctrinated to not care about others
What do they do if kids share?
From my experience being a poor kid, you have to give back whatever they shared with you and you both get yelled at and or separated
They usually don’t tell parents cuz they know how bad it sounds lmfao
Thanks for that real life example.
Straight to jail
why do elementary school students even have an account balance
to hurt them, of course
Because SNAP lobbies the districts to buy their lunch accounting systems instead of schools just doing their own lunch tickets.
why do elementary schoolers have to pay for lunch in any way shape or form? There should be no lunch accounting or lunch tickets, there should just be food that the children are given.
For extortion purposes
Students are only allowed to purchase 1 ice cream and are not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend.
Fuckin depraved ghouls
What if a stranger buys them an ice cream, therefore, not a friend.
maybe don’t have a stranger on school grounds handing out candy to kids that souns like a bigger issue
This would be a good opening paragraph in a dystopian YA novel.
you best start believin’ in dystopian YA novels…YER IN ONE
Note from editor: This is too on the nose and not believable for our target audience, we are aiming at young adults, not pre schoolers, who would believe that dystopian societies would limit the buying and exchanging/sharing of ice cream. This only works if you mention that the evil regime is socialist.
“We legally can’t keep out every poor kid, so we need to make sure to hurt any that get through”
not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend
shout out to the people that bought me food occasionally and let me have their leftovers in school. that made being poor as shit in a school for rich-ish people more bearable.
Hey, Id like to buy an ice cream…
hands over dollar
Sorry, kiddo, but you can’t buy an ice cream until you’ve paid off your lunch debt.
Thank you for helping us have a great first ice cream Friday, I hope this poor-shaming went smoothly for you
*keeps dollar*
so this is specifically designed to make kids whose parents don’t put money on their account feel bad, right?
Reminds me of a (lib?) I was chatting with years ago who said he’s against racism but that he doesn’t see anything wrong with our border policies and that people shouldn’t be breaking the law by crossing the border illegally and had no idea what the people agreeing with him were about until they started saying the bullying and arrests of the kids of immigrants is the fault of their parents and he had a huge shock that these were the people he’d been agreeing with and who’d agreed with him this whole time (no I can’t break this sentence up and make it shorter).
Sounds like a Diet Racism enjoyer.
Yes. No other explanation for why a kid can’t pay cash for a cone if they have a deficit on their account.
This is how we know the kids are cool. They’re such ardent socialists that the IMF is writing the terms of their ice cream purchases.
I think lots of people see communism as childish because they instinctively did the things they associate with communism as children, and were broken o that habit as they aged.
This is a good observation.
thank you
What is to be done, then?
Make them understand that they were made to be a certain way for a certain reason. If you can show them that it wasn’t just “life” that made them less trusting, more greedy, but an intentional effort designed to benefit someone who wasn’t them, that would make them understand why we believe in communism.
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
If the Democratic Party had an ice cream sale
blind self interest is human nature, which is why they have to make explicit rules against doing anything else
If I was a parent I’d probably just buy a bunch of ice creams, walk in, and start handing them out to all the kids who didn’t get one.
Absolute face move, would get a mega crowd pop.
“Greetings children, it is I, father of Kim-Jong (my child’s name). If you do not have an ice cream, you may now have one.”
No teacher is powerful enough to stop children from taking the ice cream. There would be riots. I would become a martyr.
You would become known as the reason behind the school’s decades long irrational ban on ice cream. Your name will be sung of in song and poem for generations.
They shall know you as the Plombir Man
