No More Best Friends

Author Ryan Logan

The Pentucket Workshop Preschool in Massachusetts has just instituted a new rule that has a lot of parents very upset…

The preschool sent home letter’s stating that they’d done “research” about kids using the term “best friend” and found that it might be hurtful to other kids.

A portion of the letter obtained by Boston 25 News read, “It has been our experience (which spans decades) that the use of the term ‘best friend,’ even when used in a loving way, can lead other children to feel excluded […] which can ultimately lead to the formation of ‘cliques’ and ‘outsiders.'”

One mom told the news that she was taking her daughter out of Pentucket Workshop Preschool and putting her in a school where she’s allowed to call people her best friend. “I want her to be able to express her thoughts and feelings in a healthy way, as children should,” the mom said.

 

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
