Adult Ed presents: Ambivalent Parenting 101
ADULT EDUCATION PRESENTS: "AMBIVALENT PARENTING 101"
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - 8 pm (doors at 7:30)
Union Hall in Park Slope
702 Union St. @ 5th Ave
$5 cover
Adult Education is a Brooklyn-based useless lecture series. Each month is
devoted to a given theme, and 4 or 5 speakers address some aspect
of that theme using visual aids. This month we present a primer on Ambivalent Parenting.
GREG ALLEN, "TV, Education, & Kids: Three Of These Things Belong Together?"
Forty years ago, researchers created Sesame Street to tap the vast educational power of television for the benefit of "ghetto kids." How's that working out? A brief, illustrated history.
GARY DREVITCH, "Widespread Abuse of the 'Put the Oxygen Mask on Yourself First' Metaphor Among Contemporary American Parents"
Drevitch discusses how a small but critical piece of the standard airplane-safety lecture has been expanded upon and embraced as the foundation of a popular parenting philosophy. But will Mommy really be a better Mommy after she has her daily glass of merlot?
ILANA GLAZER: "Upper-Class Upbringing as Seen Through the Lens of a Middle-Class Jew"
This presentation will explore the upper-class attempted anti-snob movement in Manhattan compared to the culture vacuum that is growing up in the suburbs of Long Island. We will also discover the inadequacies of trusting a college student with your children.
ANDREW HANELLY AND MIKE MCCARTHY: "The Guilt-Free Guide to Parenting"
Raising a child can be a stress on one's social life, physical fitness and emotional well-being. But, the speakers argue, parenting, done right, can be a blissful experience and allow you to focus on the truly important aspects of life, such as yourself.
DANIEL WRIGHT: "Mothers of Invention: A Brief Guide to Child-Rearing Devices"
A survey of American patent literature reveals parents' desire not to be parents.
With your host, CHARLES STAR

Item of the Week-Orange Bubble Skirt/Dress
I get so excited when I come across great design that serves dual functions, like this fantastic skirt/ dress from Imoga
The Bubble skirt has an elasticized waistband and blue tie which then becomes the halter tie for the dress as you draw the skirt up over the chest.....now that is genius!
The contrast blue flower motif that is embroidered down the front gives this great piece even more - wow factor.
100% cotton
