How quickly we progress

I teach 11 year olds. I gave them a "find the hidden objects" sheet today to kill time as we are at the end of the school year. I got the sheet from a book I purchased about 5 years ago.

One of the items to locate is a floppy disk. One of my students raised her hand and asked, "A floppy disk is square, right?" :D

Of course, I remember one of my kids asking me what a record album was that was hanging from the ceiling in a 50's restaurant.

:lol: :lol:

And, how quickly we regress .... I'm speaking of Scooby Doo. Was watching this weekend with my daughter on the Cartoon Network. The "new" Scooby Doo cartoons. She's sitting in my bed, watching, and my wife and I are sort of snoring, half-watching and we hear this ....

"Oh, they're not witches. They're Wiccans," then hearty laughter in the tone of "how silly could you be ... witches, really."

UP we both shot and said "What?!?"

Whole scene was how these teenage girls rock band chics were just Wiccans, nothing to fear Shaggy and Scooby, they're not witches.

Well, Scoob is off the list. They've gone and ruined Scooby Doo.

I've noticed that too, Dolfan. Scooby and the gang used to foil bad guys who just dressed up like monsters demons and witches. Now they fight real demons, ghosts and witches. Can't let the kids watch anymore.

My 12-year-old nephew was looking at my LP record collection and asked (seriously), "Do they make CD players THIS big?"

They are, really. Part of this new age tolerance doctrine that is being preached in the secular world.

Just my two cents on the subject.
