    A French child is never late nor are they early, they arrive when they precisely mean to 🇫🇷🥖

    Why don’t they just let the kids in? Who cares if they are a little late. Life’s complicated, shit happens.

      “Tardiness” rules always struck me as pedantic bullshit. “Nope. You’re here 3 seconds after the bell rang. Now, miss more class to go get a late slip from the office.”

        So we should wait for those late, to start ? Tell me how it’s fair for those who arrived in time.

          No, start the class on time and the kids who get there within a minute or so can just walk in and sit down, like you do in a world that isn’t run by bean counting shit fuckers.

            While I agree with the spirit of your argument, a 5 or 6 year old is not going to be able to enter a classroom without making a disturbance. And students entering late make it more difficult for the teacher.

            Also, if this is an issue so much that the school has to put our a statement, it’s probably not just a one time thing, it’s probably the continued abuse of the existing system to the detriment of those following said system.

    How light are French children that you can throw them over an 6 foot tall fence

      Little practice and a decent hammer throw technique your average adult ought to be able to get higher than a six foot arc with 50lbs. Trick is to grab em by the ankles, looking them in the eye is incredibly distracting.

      Elementary kids? 50-70 pounds. Oh wait we want kilos. With cheese.

      French children are typically the size of human children. This might be surprising from an US perspective.

        You’re telling me you can lift a 50 pound child over your head and toss them? Multiple times a week?

          I can lift a 50 pound weight over my head, multiple times in a row. I’m not sure how these parents are actually doing it, I assume the kids climb over, and the parents aren’t actually yeeting them.

    How strong is Aragorn that he could toss a dwarf, who are stout and heavy? He must have some elvish strength enhanced jewelry.

      Aragorn is a Dunedain, a superior race of humans who were blessed by the gods (before Sauron caused their downfall). That’s why he’s the rightful king, and why he has such impressive feats of strength, intelligence and courage.

        Where do the books detail that? I’ve read them, but I never caught that before. I thought the Dunedin were just another ethnicity of men. That’s pretty cool though.

          It’s most throughly detailed in The Silmarillion, but you’ll find some scattered references to Númenor in the main trilogy. Essentially, the Númenorians were deceived by Sauron shortly before their end, but some refused to abandon Eru (god), and were blessed

            Oh, I haven’t read the Silmarillion or the Hobbit yet! Are they good books? Idk why I stopped at just the trilogy, considering how much I loved them.

              They’re outstanding books, if you enjoyed LotR – beware, though, that the Hobbit is a bit more childish and Silmarillion is somewhat disjointed if taken as a single story (it’s more of a collection of different stories)

                Great! I’ll start on them when I finish the Worldwalker series that I’m reading right now. Which should I read first?

                  IMO, start with The Hobbit, that way you can get a better look into Tolkien’s mind before plunging into his legendarium.
