I went to 6th grade in 1960 in the small farming community of Vale, Oregon. The boys my age talked about horses, trucks, cows, tractors, guns, hunting, fishing, sports, irrigating, motorcycles, etc.
It is now 2011, and I teach 6th grade. Following is an enlightening conversation I heard between two sixth grade boys last week:
Bryce to Jacob (who had his legs crossed) Hey, don't cross your legs.
Jacob: Why not?
Bryce: You'll get spider veins.
Jacob: (looking quite terrified) What are those?!?!
Bryce: OMG, don't you watch Dr. Oz?
I never thought I would live to see the day that 6th grade boys would be warning each other about getting spider veins.
