How children's play reflects society (hexbear.net)

Honestly this poster got it right.

I look at the play and language that comes home from school with out 7yo and, well, yuck! So much focus on being a “rich guy”, comparison, taunting. It sucks! I recognize that there’s also the element of being seven and growing up in here, but I’m also a firm believer that play reflects the ambient noise children are exposed to.

We are looking at moving schools again but at some point it just feels like an honest reflection of a sick society.

Did anyone else play Guns? My neighbors just called it Guns. It felt like a parody, but we'd get toy guns from a tub and just pretend to shoot each other.
