I was a latchkey kid and this one hits close to home! Growing up, I always used to lose my keys, so this key buddy would have come in handy! #theduofinds #latchkey #latchkeykids #batmanreturns #vintage #vintagetoys #retrotoys #batman #1990s (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoL4KQYNSHn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

People have no idea how awesome it was at times like this in the 70s and 80s for a poor latchkey kid, livin' in darkness and pain. People wonder why I promote morality, inclusiveness, equity, honesty, and integrity...well, I was raised by Optimus Prime, Luke Skywalker, and a multitude o' heroes, not shady opportunistic antiheroes or con men o' the post-90s era. 📺 #miccillian #captncillian #pirate #moralityandethics #heroes #saturdaymorningcartoons #optimusprime #transformers #lukeskywalker #starwars #heman #thundercats #gijoe #smurfs #carebears #superman #batman #spiderman #superfriends #voltron #barbapapa #mask #latchkeykid #genx #generationx (at Waterloo, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnbXNwJ7TG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Deep thoughts 💭

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who wanted you.

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who protected you.

I wonder what it’s like to have parents who didn’t fight over you like a dog with a bone then once they got the bone try to burry it.

I wonder what it’s like to grow up knowing you will have a parent who’s a real parent.

I wonder what it’s like to just be loved and be able to accept it without hesitation.

I wonder what it’s like to know what it feels like to grow up knowing you are safe & loved.

I wonder what it’s like to grow up and not be someone’s property.

I wonder what it’s like to go to a prom.

I wonder what it would have been like to go to school and not be bullied & mistreated.

I can go on for millions more but these are just some of the millions of things I’ve thought, wondered and hoped could’ve been different.

Boomers: You can't leave kids at home alone!

Me: What about the latchkey kids?

Apologies as I have not been online much for the last couple of weeks due to the need to get some important paperwork knocked out. Earlier I had a buddy of mine share this with me and I had to share it with all of you. This piece resonates with me very strongly as I can relate with it 100%. I’m sure that many of my friends out there can also relate and not just for the love and admiration for the world that Robert E. Howard created. I’m sure many of you have your own favorite characters whose worlds you dove into with so much excitement and joy. This is just one of them for me. Thanks go out to my buddy, Ron, for sharing this with me. #ChildhoodMoments #ReadingAdventures #EscapeToAnotherWorld #FantasyWorlds #ScienceFictionWorlds #Action #Adventure #SecretAgents #Mercenaries #Explorers #Spies #Cowboys #Detectives #LatchkeyKids #RobertEHoward #ConanTheBarbarian #Crom (at Colorado Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZ0CAihlRb/?igshid=1hp44dpx2k47j

Is "hybrid" the answer? #Homeschooling is hard, and for the near future, crowded classrooms aren't optimal.🤷🏼‍♂️ Right now you can Zoom one-on-one with a teacher or tutor, but never meeting someone's gaze is unsatisfying. 👁 This also happens in online dating! I've been told Facetime dates with new people feel more like job interviews than a chance to detect if there's a spark!🔥 If schools offered a hybrid model where half the students are physically in class Monday/Wednesday 🏫while the other half views online 💻 then switch IRL & online groups Tuesday/Thursday—social distancing would be in effect and class sizes would be smaller. There would be accountability as attendance could be recorded whether in real life or virtual. Would this create education-access disparity? Funding would need to be found to make sure all students have needed tools.💰Some parents can work from home, but what about parents who can't? From the 1940s, the idea of the "latchkey kid,"🗝 referred to kids whose parents were at work when kids got home from school. This would be "Latchkey 2.0." 🔑 Online options are common in higher-ed. By exposing students to this hybrid experience it could enable greater success as they move toward high school,🏃🏻‍♀️and ultimately on to university or technical schools.👩🏻‍🎓 I miss seeing classmates & making IRL connections with my professors. Face-to-face is important. We don't know how long the "new normal" will persist, but while it continues, hybrid classes already work. It'll be more effort for teachers at first.👨🏽‍🏫 They'd need to reinvent their lesson plans and workflows, but with a 4-day school week, it could work. Do you know parents who have had to pivot to homeschooling?👩‍🏫 And are kids missing out because socialization has been removed from the picture?👫 What do you think?! #TGIF! Wishing you all safe and well!🙋🏻‍♀️ Photos: #beautiful #spring #flowers in #madrona #centraldistrict #seattle #WFH #thenewnormal #newnormal #education #onlineeducation #hybridlearning #hybrid educatio #onlinelearning #hybridclasses #virtualclassroom #virtualeducation #latchkeykids #staysafe #flowerlovers #iloveflowers (at Central District, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhSeyoAwAf/?igshid=111lrect7jqrv

My kids already know what's up. I was left alone on a daily basis, no adult supervision. Just me and my sister, latchkey kids as they called it. Nowadays all these kids is soft as fuck. Let me get you a safe space, to go cry in. #Soft #Babysiter #LatchKeyKids https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KDX_dAWhn/?igshid=126tly5hjg9xx
