Why?!?!?

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

Somehow I have my doubts if these kiddie songs really rock that much...
If only you could select which songs to teach 'em... would sure be a funny thing to see a primary school class sing "Highway to Hell", hehe...
Btw, a friend of mine works in a Kindergarten, and he's a metalhead. He's tattooed (a huge dragon wielding a scythe, all over his back, and an inverted cross (!) on his right shoulder), he usually runs around in metal T-shirts, and he even taught children the classical Heavy Metal hand gesture... I think you know what I mean. When his colleagues ask him why "his" children make that gesture, he says that he has taught them to make "the snail"...
Stefan will probably teach children how to play CS just right... or wait a minute, nowadays it could be that a six-year-old will own him on any map - the times, they are a-changin'... 9_9

Might happen... I can almost see him when recess starts: Standing near the blackboard, he will point vaguely in the direction of the yard and issue a "Storm the Front", and his pupils will leave the class room and sneak down to the yard, covering each other on the way down...

i passed the test!!! wo00t. Barely though, but i made it.

Anyway, somehow the school believes you must have some kind of 'bagage' for musical songs, so thats why we have to learn 85 songs.

Btw, my kids... erm, well they aint bots. I try to seperate ai and real life as much as possible Anyway, as i said to PM earlier, my ultimate goal now is to make a game (computer game) with the entire class... think off:

- creating graphics
- logic (programming in a way)
- sounds
- rewarding system for learning...
- interaction
- presentation
etc.

85 songs for every situation.. if a child starts crying you will sing this song.. and if someone is heart you sing one of these..

i didnt mind singin when i was little.. but those freaky songs we had to sing i didnt like..

what is the age of the class?.. older then i think?

Word. Man, if they had sung good stuff like "I wanna rock" by Twisted Sister or something... Btw, I can imagine that kids would have a great time singing this song, especially in the chorus: "I wanna rock - ROCK!"... Or some old songs dating back to the middle ages - history and music in a kid-friendly package! Ah, school could have been so much more... 9_9
/me stops moaning and opens a bottle for Stefan, who'll certainly do a better job than many of the teachers I had... Thumbs up!

Actually over here there's an ad on TV for Evian water where babies are singing "We will rock you", the tune has now even become famous (and I hate it btw...)

well, the songs are ranging from kids of 4 years old till 12 years old. but, when i give lessons on music and such, i often take a more modern song , something that 'lives' with the children. True, some songs are just really school-like. But i also did 'We will rock you' and also some others... its just cool.

I also had a lesson with music from The Matrix and also LOTR. The kids LOVE it.
