My 10-year-old’s homework story to read. At least it has a happy ending, the dog wagged its tail when the injection went in. RIP Boom Boom. Obviously my son was troubled after reading this…

Everything. As It Happens.
Its obviously an analogy about beating depression.

Its honestly a good thing to teach kids but maybe not school.
maybe not in school*
It’s better than teaching them fairy tales about fellas that died and then were grand.
I’m not sure you should be teaching them about Superman, either.
BOOM BOOM, LET ME HERE YOU SAY MAYO, MAYOOOO!

*JAYOOOO
Oh my God, I am genuinely embarrassed by misspelling ‘hear’. There aren’t enough facepalms. I’m so sorry everyone.
Just parse it as: Let me…..here….YOU say Mayo.
I couldn’t get the Jayo in without using the hear as the starter.
Meant nothing by it. All the best for Sunday.
Their they’re there, spelling isn’t the be all and end all.
Apology accepted, but don’t let it happen again.
Is that you again, Ms Mulherrin?
PS: Santa isn’t real. also your parents don’t love each other they probably just “settled” for each other because of the whole biological clock thing, but don’t worry, they are both professionals so when they break up ( and they will break up ) it really wont be your fault, ….probably…,but still, you’ll have 2 birthdays and 2 Christmases’. that’s at least something right? Look kid, the dog was in pain. Boom Boom got a better end than most humans….oh god..stop crying…
Oh no, wait till they find out what happens to poor oul Jesus. And as for Bambi… How will you all cope?
Don’t let your son watch “Hachi”.

Inaccurate. Ten isn’t old for a labrador, fifteen is.
Don’t let him watch Quill either.

Ha!
Brilliant.
Very good!
When is a good age to talk to a child about death?
When they understand the meaning of certainty.
About ten years old?
Yup. When I was ten I understood with perfect clarity that my mother was dead, and was never coming back.
At the age of five, after watching Optimus Prime die in Transformers: The Movie.
When you’re 38.
Noted.
When they stop you playing The Sunday Game.

I read some very dodgy rumours about him on t’internet. Doesn’t make him any less funny, but if true he’s a complete sillybilly.
When the actor that played the beloved Mr. Hooper died, the Sesame Street producers decided not to side-step the issue, but to address it directly, as it is important that children learn about these things.

Think this is a great story. Death of a pet is often the only experience of death and grief that children encounter, if they’re lucky. Adults are pretty crap at grief.
I’d say the class discussion after this could have taken ages, if the teacher is decent.
The questions, all but #5, are pretty bland for 4th class.
And…. so…
Kids react differently. Two nieces of mine, one got very upset over the death of budgie, the other, after being asked ‘so how are you after Joey died?’ replied…
‘We’re going to get another one’, and off she went… skipping…
