John Carle replied to John Carle's discussion "You're the only man here!" in the group Teachers' Club (for men in Education)"Hi, Cullen. The Guys Read website is at http://guysread.com/ - it was started by Jon Scieszka, and we just run a lonely little outpost. It is after school, and the boys sign up. They pester me if we can't meet at our usual…"
Matthew Perry replied to John Carle's discussion "You're the only man here!" in the group Teachers' Club (for men in Education)"I am a middle school history teacher but my first year teaching was in a 3rd grade classroom. My kids were SHOCKED that some guy was their teacher. I agree Cullen I missed interaction with other guys and since moving into my true field three years…"
Cullen S. replied to John Carle's discussion "You're the only man here!" in the group Teachers' Club (for men in Education)"I've been there! I do think the novelty of being one of the few male teachers in my elementary school has made me popular with the students, which helps me run my classroom a little more smoothly. I like your idea of a Guys Read group. As a…"
"That's awesome, Brian. I wish when I was younger my father would have showed me how to do these things rather than saying, "You can help by staying out of my way." Of course the things he did want my help with I had no interest in...…"
Brian Splash replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"When I was a nipper my father had me out in the shed , he restored vintage Buicks so I would be sanding timber frames or de nailing panels stripping rubber off running boards , there was always a task .
When I was a bit older I wanted a trail…"
Brian Splash replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"Do kids still do soapbox cars , that would make a great winter project in the basement or in a shed with a pot belly stove ."
StaggerLee replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"I agree with the perspective that it's not my kids who need to be out more. We, too are an active family. Dare I say most parents these days just aren't and naturally their kids aren't either. Best you can do is try to form…"
Brubeck replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"I, too, have been in a park or some other outdoor setting where I'm doing something with my boys and I am a little surprised to see no one else there."
Brubeck replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"It's strictly a seasonal issue in my house. I am happy to let my boys play video games when it's 10 degrees outside - I'm not taking them outdoors when it's that cold. During the fair weather months, however, they love the…"
"I find that kids who engross themselves with indoor activities have fathers who do not take them outside and play.... or haven't in a long time.

Sean replied to John Carle's discussion Getting the kid(s) outside in the group Manly Dads"I take the kids fishing and innertubing in the summer. In the winter we go skating and tobogganing. Outdoor sports are good as well, but that's not going to happen in Georgia.
Funny you should bring this up. The other day I took my younger…"
John Carle replied to Joe W's discussion The one thing you'd like to do with your son in the group Fathers and Sons"Hike the AT. Short of that, hike Philmont with him. I got to go twice, and my dad went the second time."

Getting the kid(s) outside
Like a lot (a LOT) of kids his age, my seven-year-old son has discovered, and loves, the world of electronic games. His current great interest is Minecraft, previously Angry Birds - all well and good, and I don't mind that he plays stuff as long as it's appropriate, but he'll do it all day if we let him.So I work at getting him outdoors. This has actually been pretty easy to do in general. We camp pretty much year-round (we're in Georgia), he plays soccer, he's in Cub Scouts, we garden, and…See More

Rebekah replied to Colin G's discussion Start to early investments - 401k, Roth IRA, Mutual Fund"Emergency money, usually 3-9 months worth of living expenses, shouldn't be in an account that charges a fee to put cash in your hand, or that will mean taxes if you do that. There are penalty-free CDs (certificates of deposit) for this. Last I…"

Colin G posted a discussionStart to early investments - 401k, Roth IRA, Mutual Fund
Hey guys,I have a few questions on investing and hopefully you can answer them. I am starting my first job and have just recently graduated from college. I am debt free, own a car (reliable) and making a salary of $65,000.Besides fully contributing into my companies 401k (7%) and getting it matched I would like to start a Roth IRA and possibly invest some into a mutual fund. I plan to basically use the mutual fund as my "emergency money" and let it sit only unless I need to get the money for…See More
Nathan DeParis replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"Instead of say I should have said think, but it was meant to convey stopping at what's is on the outside instead of wondering what makes up the person."
