if we place two very young children that know nothing about life on an island??

Your right, because even when atheists are in pain they call out "OH GOD!" if they don't believe in God, why do they subconsciously call out for him when they are in pain or when they need help?

totally ignore it as if i felt nothing and try to leave wherever i am...a little kid like 5  or 6 i hope!  if it was a kid who was 10 or 11 i would definetly run in the other direction, if it was a little kid i wouldn't think anything of it.....kids are odd, aren't they?

Heck no!\n\nParents aren't parenting well if that's the case.\n\nJust do the right thing and ignore the parents in this case.

I work in an intermediate school in the far corner of the US on a tropical island. Most of the students in this school have ancestors who have lived in this archipelago for hundreds or thousands of years. \n\nTheir whole lives, they read books and textbooks about people who live thousands of miles away in a four-season climate. They watch movies and TV shows about these people who never go squidding, never hunt pigs, wouldn't know an 'ulua from a mahi, don't own a rice cooker, can't surf, never paddled an outrigger canoe, and can't even hula. The limits of the interest these kids have in people who live so far away have been reached and passed. \n\nMost kids of 14 and under anywhere don't even know enough about how people live in different parts of the world to sustain enough interest to read a textbook chapter on the subject, let alone a whole textbook. In a way that's because their brains are still developing the ability to think abstractly. \n\nThey really aren't able to "put themselves in the shoes" of someone who disagrees with them, or has a different kind of background. They'll say something like , "The Bible is nonfiction," and they're not going to be able to process the idea that most people in the world do not believe or worship the same as they do in their families. And if you try to get them to think like someone who lived in the past, most just would not be able to do that. \n\nTo be honest, some people don't develop any kind of interest in world history or geography (sorry, I'm a geographer, can't get away from it) until they have graduated from high school. That being said, I have made a deliberate effort to bring videos into classrooms that open a window into how people live and have lived in other parts of the world. I showed my Latino, African, and American Black 5th graders in Washington, DC a documentary about Hawaiians rediscovering the ancient art of navigation by the stars. Those Hawaiians sailed a double-hulled canoe thousands of miles with no GPS, no sextant, no compass and landed in Tahiti. I actually know a few of the crew members personally! I showed my 7th graders in Hawaii a documentary about the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa. They were able to understand what happened in South Africa, because they know what happened in Hawaii.\n\nKids this age are probably more ready for bits and pieces of world history than the school systems give them credit for. They may not ready for a systematic study of the history of the whole world.

Dear corky,\n\nhave you read the book yet?  What sort of presentation are you expected to do?\n\nYou could always look at critiquing the work.  The premise of the story is how human (in this case children) would behave when they are faced with various circumstances and pressure of nature and need for survival.\n\nYou could also analyse how the kids "organize" themselves - the formation of "society" on the island.\n\nYou could analyze how the kids built their own "religion" or belief system.\n\nYou could analyze how the author portray human nature.  Would these pointers be enough?

Please take these questions somewhere else.  There are children on this site.

Never actually read it did you? They did not just have two children. Also it speaks of others beside them.

Yes - and unlike many others, I wouldn't change things, or be born with all the knowledge I have already.  May be boring, but life is about learning, and we learn my making mistakes.  Take my 1 year old twins for example.  They are learning to stand on their own.  Should I hold them constantly, always afraid their hurt their tush if they fall?  Nope, they would never learn to stand on their own if I did that.  Yes, they fall and hurt themselves (or their pride) and cry, but then they get cuddled and praised for their efforts and they try again.  Same with life.  Gotta take the good with the bad, gotta learn all you can, even if that means learning from your mistakes and passing on your knowledge to the next generation.  Life is what you make of it, not what's handed to you.

What I find funny is that one day we're being given all this advice on how to save the planet for our children.  Then, the next day, we're being told that our children are the worst in Europe!  F.uck 'em, they don't care about society so why should we care about their existence?

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.
