I need some help here people - My daughter's principal is nuts

[QueenOfCalifornia]

Okay...

My little girl will be 8 next month, she is in the third grade... yesterday she came home from school with an assignment from the principal... It's due tomorrow...

She has to make a poster that shows 50... FIFTY different ways to say NO TO DRUGS.

This is an assignment given to several kids in each classroom. This so sucks. I can think of maybe 3 ways to say no to drugs... I will be in poster HELL later today and I need you guys to feed me some lines here...

I find this sort of "project" to be OVER THE FUCKING TOP. Maybe some of you know of a LOL Cat or something????

here she is with her brother:

[AlCzervik]

1. is it red ribbon week already?

[evlbstrd]

Try fifty different languages.

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

[AlCzervik]

9. that's a good one.

[TahitiNut]

12. Exactly what I was thinking. (GMTA)

That's what I'd do.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

18. Good!

It may work! I'll take all the help I can get.:)

[Fuzz]

32. Great idea, with different colors and make it pretty.

[TahitiNut]

41. Well, replace the 50 stars on a flag with 'NO' in 50 languages. Make it 'patriotic'.

:shrug:

[Fuzz]

52. There ya go, with Obama and 'YES' in the last one!

[NightWatcher]

2. 1. No thanks, we grow our own at home

[Flabbergasted]

37. That's awesome but I'm afraid the police would come around nt

[FSogol]

3. Write the word "NO" 49 times around the term "Just Say NO to drugs" n/t

[amdezurik]

11. or change it to "just say NO to"

"stupid slogans"

[rcrush]

4. I use reverse pyschology and say YES! n/t

[enki23]

5. that's pretty damned stupid. so throw it back at 'em. do it in fifty different crayola colors.

.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

16. That was my first idea...

I told my little baby that and she almost started crying... She takes this shit waaaaaay too seriously.

I also think it's pretty damned stupid.

(my husband, a fed prosecutor) told her that if she didn't say no to drugs he would put her in prison and told her to use that 50 times with a picture of him on the poster... Yikes... i don't think so, but thanks Daddy.

[Dora]

6. Alternative activities is your answer.....

Try thinking of this as a list of fifty things to do that are not doing drugs....

"give my dog a bath"
"play a game of basketball"
"read a book"
"visit my grandmother"
"help my dad make dinner"


etc.....

[PassingFair]

7. Use 50 stills from "Scarface" and "Carlito's Way"...

Figure 1.

[zbdent]

8. How about this:

No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.
No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks.

[RubyDuby in GA]

10. Write "no" in 50 different languages.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. "This ragweed is the best you can do? No thanks, I'd rather smoke oregano."

[rucky]

14. "I don't want any...

1) ludes
2) crack
3) toot
4) blow
5) ganga
6) smack
7) hillbilly heroin
8) maui wowee

etc, etc...

The principal will crap his pants.

[beac]

47. >

:rofl:

Thanks! I REALLY needed a laugh today and that did it for me!

[Scat]

15. Yeah, I would go with different languages....

http://www.elite.net/~runner/jennifers/no.htm

[Warpy]

17. Just tell her to come up with 50 ways to say "no"

to this stupid project: yell "NO!" throw it in the trash can, walk away, run away, etc. When she's done, she can substitute the word "drugs" for the project.

Yes, it's a stupid idea. Few eight year olds have the vocabulary to come up with 50 ways to say the same thing and just as few really know what drugs are. The addition of such a short time limit is just cyanide icing on a strychnine cake.

I have a feeling the principal is the one with the problem here. I hope he gets some help.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

79. The principal

is a woman and she is not the brightest bulb in the lamp.

[TahitiNut]

19. Beautiful kids! (I'm looking forward to Halloween and seeing kids like that.)

Fun!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

Thanks Tahiti

They will look pretty different on Halloween..

My son wanted to scare people so - get this, he said - Maybe i should go as John McCain! That's pretty scary!

I love that kid.

[TahitiNut]

36. It'd take more than too much make-up to make that good-looking kid look like McCain.

Peter Pan would be easier. Superboy. Even Spiderman.

For a really daring (drawing outside the lines) costume, let him go as Wednesday (of the Addams Family) ... if cross-dressing doesn't offend or is some kind of taboo. If that's taboo, let him do Gomez.


He just ain't the "scare" type. Hug magnet. Not scary.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

21. Dupe

diddy-doop

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. I am laughing so hard at this

thread -

I knew you guys would come through...

Bwaaaa-haaaaaa!

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

22. I'd get creative on that principal...

Your daughter should write, "You don't need 50 ways to say no to drugs. You just
need to say "NO!" once and believe in the power of your own voice."

It's a lot less work than a list of 50!

Good luck! I have an eight-year old too!

Cute kids...they look very close in age.

:hi:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

23. Another good one

Thanks.

Ahhh... They are nice little kids too. They are 13 months apart. My son was 6 months old and I found out I was 3 months pregnant. YIKES!

Worth every stretch mark!

[CoffeeCat]

34. Oh, how cute...

...and I know the feeling. My two girls (ages 7 and 8), are 15 months apart. When my oldest was 6 months, we
found out we were pregnant with our second and I think I was in shock until they were about 2 and 3!

So many diapers! :)

[gollygee]

24. Believe it or not, if you google, you'll find people have worked hard at this

http://www.sheriff.co.st-clair.il.us/dare25.asp

Do drugs? Are you joking?
I'd rather be choking!
I'm saving my body for sports!
My father would KILL ME!
Just KEEP IT, don't bill me!
I've read all the latest reports!
>Are YOU such a loser
A dope and a boozer?
Get lost and don't bother to call!
My head is not hollow!
I won't take a swallow!
No, NEVER, NOT ONCE, NOT AT ALL!!
"21">Get high, like a rocket?
Your brain's in your pocket
And you've sent all your marbles to space,
If you think for a minute
That I'd dive right on in it,
Just by the blank stare on my face!

[Evoman]

25. Here is a start.

No

No thanks.

No thank's I don't do drugs.

No thanks I don't do drugs they affect my spelling.

Drugs are for losers.

I don't do drugs.

I hate drugs.

I don't want drugs.

No, drugs are bad for you.

No, I only use legal drugs my doctor gives me.

Heck no!

No way!

No drugs for me.

Drugs, nope.

Fuck off bitch, I got a supplier.

No, I know somebody who died of drugs.

No, I can't afford to get addicted.

No way, drugs are for losers.

Drugs are a gateway to more drugs, I don't want to walk throught that gateway.

I ain't no crack whore, sucka.

No, please, lets just play basketball.

What? You egg! Young fry of treachery!

Too bad the request wasn't for 50 ways to say "Peace" or "Thank You" or "Love"

[readmoreoften]

81. THE ABOVE POST IS A PERFECT RESOURCE FOR YOU...

Just to point it out in case she hasn't seen it. Easier than 50 colors.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

88. Ah,

thanks for the recognition, readmoreoften. :pals:

[ogneopasno]

29. Why the hell is the principal making assignments?

nt

[AlCzervik]

30. it might be red ribbon week, i'm still waiting for the op to answer my question about that.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

70. Sorry...

I had to go to Target for the poster board and crap - then I forced myself to stop for Mexican food with a Margarita and then a stop at the grocery store...

Yes - it is red ribbon week (I think... Hell, I think so... wtf do I know?)

xoxo

[Fumesucker]

83. LOL.. Your daughter is told to find 50 ways to say no to drugs..

And her parent goes out for a drug (alcohol is indeed a drug) while getting the materials for the poster.

"If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron." -Spider Robinson

[Cheap_Trick]

31. Just say "Thanks, but no thanks" to drugs.

you betcha

[CoffeeCat]

35. LOL!!

oh, that is too funny!

:rofl:

I can see a Russian meth lab from my house!

[Cheap_Trick]

51. If you lived in Wasilla, you be in a meth lab by now.....

Seeing as how it's the meth lab capitol of Alaska and all that....

[Mariana]

33. I wish schools wouldn't do this.

This is the kind of crap that makes kids hate school. NO ONE likes being given an overwhelming assignment they can't do on their own. This particular assignment will also tend to make some of them MORE, not less, curious about drugs. Bad idea.

[davsand]

38. "My mommy says LEGALIZE it." should provoke some discussion--right?

Isn't THAT the real reason for this kind of assignment?


:shrug:

saddlesore

[Flabbergasted]

40. "I'm not that stupid" nt

[Flabbergasted]

42. "I like to keep my brain in operable condition"

[Flabbergasted]

43. "Let's go do something fun instead" nt

[tjwash]

44. How about "by turning off the fucking TV?"

We must get at least 50 to 100 commercials bombarding us every 5 minutes for every drug from Ambien to Zanaflex; and if I see those old mother fuckers singing the praises of boner pills any more...:argh:

Oh...wait, is her principle talking about just the drugs the pharmaceuticals don't make billions on?

[Occulus]

61. That's a good out-of-the-box way to do it, actually

Did they mention which drugs? It didn't sound like it, so pick LEGAL ones, prescription ones, perhaps drugs that have been pulled off the shelf. Maybe make references to how the kid doesn't want XYZ side effect.

Good thinking on your part.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

77. I wish I could

let this idea become reality!
:rofl:

[Joanne98]

45. Use the names of fifty different prisons.

[Flabbergasted]

48. "That's a great idea."

[Flabbergasted]

46. "No thanks I only smoke cigarettes and drink vodka."

[beac]

49. Looks like you have plenty of great suggestions, so I'll just say

your kids are ADORABLE!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

76. Thanks!

I like 'em too!

[scorpiogirl]

50. I think you've already got some good suggestions, but

what is the deal with that anyway? They are starting in kindergarten telling them to just say no too. My kids don't even know what drugs are so now I have to explain it (my oldest is in 2nd grade). I can see telling 5th and 6th graders because they're soon going into middle school, but the earlier grades seem crazy to me. Of course I grew up in L.A. myself, but where we live now my kids are much more sheltered than I was. I think sometimes too much info isn't necessarily good.

Very cute kids btw!

[hedgehog]

62. I think the main result of drug programs is to educate the nerds as to what

last year's drug slang was.

[Jed Dilligan]

53. What a fucking zealot. I would call and say that

making an 8-year-old think about drugs that much is a surefire way to get her curious about trying them.

My list would read something like:

No
Nah
Naw
Uh-uh
Huh-uh
No thanks
No thank you
No gracias
Negative
Negatory
etc.

[yardwork]

54. These types of projects are unfair to kids with families who work or aren't educated.

This is so ridiculous. What child can think of fifty different ways to say anything? Who needs to?

Nobody needs to say no to drugs fifty different ways. One way, repeated fifty times if necessary, is sufficient.

[proud2BlibKansan]

55. It's red ribbon week

Can I say I hate red ribbon week? Seems like if we were really serious about the 'drug crisis' we would spend more than a week talking to our kids at school about it, eh?

We went all over the school last week and tied red ribbons to the fence and the trees and everywhere else we could find and now this week they are blowing all over the neighborhood. So we called attention to a societal issue by creating another one and littering the neighborhood.

I like the 50 different languages idea.

[edbermac]

56. Just use this one quote from Frank Zappa about drugs.

"Speed will turn you into your parents."

[DangerDave921]

57. Fifty Different Languages

Google the word NO and languages or something like that. And write out NO in 50 different languages.

[Norrin Radd]

58. Caption a pic of the character Jim Trott from Vicar of Dibley

saying "No, no, no, no..." (his catch stutter/phrase) 50 times then "to drugs!"

[guitar man]

59. Just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan
No need to be coy, Roy....

:D

[hfojvt]

60. I realized she probably was right

there must be 50 ways.

[PatSeg]

63. That is an insane project for an eight year old

Surely they must know that they are just giving the parents an assignment which doesn't teach the kids anything.


Gorgeous kids!!

[carlyhippy]

64. it sounds like your daughter is the top of the class if they gave her the assignment

He didnt give her much time to get it done..this happened to me and my kids several several times so I ended up helping them and it would only take an hour or so

Get a posterboard, some map colors, go online and find in 50 languages how to say the word NO, write them all over the poster in different directions all around the poster. Help her color and write them out....fin.

[Birthday]

65. If I were you, I would create some kind of typeface poster

on which you write "No" in 50 different fonts, different sizes, etc.

[yasmina27]

66. I don't understand

why or how your daughter was selected. No criticism of your daughter intended, but I am a middle school teacher. We are doing Red Ribbon this week too, and our poster contest was last week, with voting this week. The contest was strictly voluntary for the kids.

This sounds like an "oops! OH shit I better do something!" decision by the principal.

Are you sure it was assigned, and by the principal? Again, nothing against your daughter, but as a mother and a teacher, I know how kids sometimes screw up instructions/directions. My kids have come home from school saying, "But moooooommmmmm! They said it HAS to be done like this!" and I later find out that such-and-such was optional.

BTW, as a French teacher, I love the idea of NO in different languages. :)

[tomreedtoon]

67. Have her do the Motorized Death approach.

Get photos of every car crash, shooting, stabbing, rape and robbery you can find. The gorier the better. Go to tabloids or even violence porn sites to get the photos. Then have all the pictures pasted together and say "This is what drugs cause."

Tell Principal Assface, "You do this in driver training to keep kids from crashing. Why not do it in your noble War on Drugs? Or are you HELPING THE TERRORISTS???"

[morgan2]

68. I got one for you

the ironic no, you take the drugs then say nah I don't want any.

[Sequoia]

69. Or a little song along the lines of..."50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"

Just drop off the weed, Reed and set yourself free.

Just thow out the Meth, Beth....

Just flush down the cocaine, Wayne...

Just chuck out the booze, Dudes...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

71. I love it.

I mean... it is funny.

Thanks for my afternoon laugh! :rofl:

[Sequoia]

75. It's going to take some work !! You're welcome.

[Tutankhamun]

72. In eighth grade I had to make an anti-drug poster.

I drew a big slug with a joint in its mouth. Underneath it were the words, "Drugs are for Slugs".

People would crack up when they saw it on the wall in History class.

[pleah]

73. WTF is the Principal assigning projects for students anyway? n/t

[Quantess]

74. That is overkill. But I have an idea:

I bet she won't get graded down for a poster that shows a lot of ideas. School counselors consider activities, such as sports or hobbies, to be a way to "say no to drugs".
Cut out magazine photos of people hiking, riding a bike, baking bread, doing art, in addition to your other ideas. Sounds corny, but I used to work in grade schools, and I'm pretty sure that will do the trick.

[Ilsa]

78. You said it first, but that is what I was thinking also. Other activities,

sports, music, UIL, etc, are great ways to keep kids learning and grow their self-esteem and usually, stay away from using drugs as a crutch.

I don't think we'll ever be able to stop the idea of experimentation.

[noamnety]

80. Speaking as a teacher here

I would encourage you NOT to do your daughter's homework. It's her assignment, not yours.

I think the assignment is a bit on the preachy side. BUT. I also think it's great for kids to have to practice using their imagination, and I think you'd be a better parent if you thought of your role as coaching her to be a creative thinker, rather than just feeding her the answers. If you distance yourself from the brainwashy nature of the question itself, I think it's actually a cool assignment to have to think of 50 ways to say anything.

As a teacher in an art school specifically, one of the big problems I run into is that kids look for the most obvious simplest solution to any assignment. If I ask them to take a photo of "water" a couple will experiment with tears, flushing toilets, ice, etc. But without coaching, 2/3 will take a snapshot of a bottle of water on their desk. It's like they've lost the ability to think.

Please don't be part of that problem.

[Toucano]

82. Of course, you've considered that the principal is on drugs

and is desperate for a way out, haven't you?

What a nonsense project.

[aikoaiko]

84. fifty different fonts. I was good at this type of assignment.

[FloridaJudy]

85. Say no to crack, Jack

Make another plan, Stan
No need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the "key", Lee
And get yourself free.

With apologies to Simon and Garfunkel

[Chemical Bill]

86. How about "No to (50 big pharm products)" n/t

[Swamp Rat]

89. Aw!

Cutie-pies! :loveya: :hi:

[Canuckistanian]

90. A picture of Limbaugh and 50 of his most idiotic quotes.

Title it "This is your government spokesman on drugs".

I'm sure you won't have any problems finding the quotes.

[Oeditpus Rex]

91. I say go right to the source

[orleans]

92. "NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO!" n/t
