My dad's elementary school class in Hackensack, NJ, mid--1950s, dressed to the nines. The class was largely composed of first or second-generation Italian-Americans, who had created roots in Hackensack that persist today.
My dad dressed up as Santa and visited a school for special needs kids, most of the kids wouldn't have the opportunity to visit Santa otherwise.
Bit of old school cool, United walking out versus Real Madrid in the semi final of the 1968 European cup. Special significance for me as my dad is the bloke in the shirt and tie upper right next to the scarf hanging.
With kids at home, we are keeping school going. In preparation for history lessons (colonies/ American Revolution) I bought this red coat and wig off Amazon. I love doing dad things that the kids will remember.

[TOMT][TV show] Mid 90's American after school special -Punk Teen boy with mohawk befriends girl with disability (uses crutches), teaches her horseback riding
In this early to mid-nineties North American after school special type show, a punk teenage boy who wears a leather jacket, with a dark colored mohawk befriends a young girl with a disability that causes her to walk with crutches. I can't remember why they become friends, but I think it has to do with community service on the boy's part. I think he'd been in trouble for something; he's a misunderstood loner.
During the course of the show takes her horseback riding for the first time. At the end he presents her with a cabbage patch doll who has crutches just like hers. The moral of a the story is you can't judge a book by its cover, and even the most different looking people can be friends. Very, very cheesy.
Does anyone remember this? I've googled this to death. I have no recollection of what channel it was on.

[Free] I'm trying to make a special birthday present for my mom and was hoping to get a colorized version of this pic of her and her dad. We found a group of these photos of the family from when my mom and her brother were young cleaning out old totes in our barn after he passed away.

Had my proudest moment as a drummer and dad this weekend. Almost 20 years out of High-school, my old cover band from then continues our tradition of playing a set at our members weddings. However this weekend was special as my 7 year old stood in for me on the kit for one song, his first gig!!😊
I have probably watched every episode of American Dad! more than 20 times so now I'm spotting repeat background people like this terrifying giant dude in a fur coat that ripped Jeff in half when his imaginary friend didnt hit the gas after Jeff's fur protest.

CMV: Grade schools in the U.S. should teach more American history after the 1950s
I think that the American History curriculum in grade schools, especially at the high school level, spends way too much time on the colonial period or the Civil War and not enough on the country’s history post-1950. I feel like this emphasis is a way to constantly remind everyone about the Founding Fathers or the history between the North and South, and to never paint the US in a bad light, which I find to be a form of censorship.
This thought was prompted by a conversation I had with five other people who grew up in FL, VA, PA, and HI about what we remembered from our American History class in high school. Some of us took AP US History, while others took non-AP equivalents, and we all graduated different high schools between 2009-2014. Several of the topics we all agreed that we learned very little about include: the Vietnam War, Korean War, Iran-Contra, the long history of US involvement in South America, Puerto Rico becoming a territory – all issues that either make the US look bad or are connected to ongoing geopolitical tensions today.
I don’t know how history classes have changed over the last 5-10 years. But I remember repeatedly learning the Civil War or Roosevelt’s presidency throughout elementary and high school. I think we, Americans, would gain a better appreciation for other cultures and better understand why the federal government is involved (economically or politically) with certain countries if we learned more about ‘modern’ American History in school (and not relying on the Internet) at a younger age. Thoughts?
The Teachers at school call me special. My dad calls me________.
This is a photo I took of my dad testing out the LLTV at Ellington air Force Base. 1968. I used to spend a lot of time out at Ellington air Force Base after School. So I got to witness a lot of the training that went on . And believe me that thing was very noisy.

LAOP says CPS wants to take his children. Claims that son brought a knife to school to protect self from dad, but LAOP says that son is known for lying. There must be more to the story, CPS won’t just randomly decide to take your kids away unless they find good reason to after an investigation.

Ok early Xers....remember these After School Specials? the title alone could be a GenX archtype
So the School outed my best friend to his crazy religious and homophobic dad after targeting him and his boyfriend all year. He went home that night to find that SRE teacher gave his dad this book. Gagged reading it. Advocates for conversion therapy
Another Dad cut in front of me in the after school pick up line
It really pissed me off. So the next day I got there early and taught his kid how to ride a bike.
And you can never get that back
After Sunday's win, my dad passed down his dads old sweatshirt to me. It was my Grandpop's favorite sweatshirt, but I've never seen my dad wear it. When I asked him why he said, "I've been saving it for a special time, go wear it at the parade in two weeks Grandpop would be proud" Fly Eagles fly 🦅
I, a Vietnamese American, came home very late one night and my dad yelled at me. I was quiet for the rest of the night after he dropped this on me.

My dad just recently made captain after 28 years with American Airlines. He loves to ski in the Colorado Rockies. Congrats Dad!
Back when I was acclimating my piano. My dad hauled my piano across the state for me. I've been playing this piano since I was 5, so it was a very special gift. My grandpa made the copper work that is above and I love the old school look of the two together.
