TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Could we get some parents to comment on the OP?

I'd like to hear what someone who has actually tried to teach children thinks about it.

In my experience, children want "THE ANSWER".  It's only later that they can grasp the concept of ambiguity and uncertainty.

I think my daughter understands ambiguity and uncertainty on some level.  For example, one day I was taking her to preschool, I totally blanked, and started to drive down the wrong road.  I was able to find a couple side streets and we ended up getting to where we were going.  My daughter, of course immediately recognized we were driving on the "wrong" road.  I explained to her how sometimes you can take different roads and still get to the same place.  She seemed okay with that idea.  Of course, little kids crave routine and predictability, so she insisted that next time we take the regular road.

My son is 14.  6'2-1/2" tall.  I fed the silly bastard too much meat.

My daughter is 12.  Red head.  It's her way or her way.

I live with THREE other people who are like this and all male.  And it doesn't help I'm the same way.

3 Alpha Males and 1 Alpha Female.  Never a dull moment in this house.

Sweet jesus, I have one too but blond and almost 5. Some of our friends are preparing a religion around her now just in case she turns out to really be the Antichrist. By the time she was born she'd already accomplished 2 impossible things.
