1. Most definitely a careless oversight by the Teacher. I’m sure the teacher will be much more careful in the future

2. It was a fiery idea, some are burning mad, while others have a bren for the project. A freilichen Chanukah!

3. It would worry me more if it was third-grade children. Primary kids generally do not know how to successfully strike a safety match.

4. not too smart!

5. As long as the children know how dangerous technology they’ll be fine…..

6. Awesome idea!!! Love the creativity!!! Come on look how cool it looks!
   It really brings the flag to life. At least it’s nothing bad ruchniyusdig, you should see/post what the others are bringing home. Hashkafadig really wrong. This is a beautiful arts n crafts. I applaud the creator of this splendid piece of art

7. Chill out! Its chanukah!!!

8. Can’t tell if it’s in a regular matchbox. If it is then obviously not a very good idea. If it’s just matches w/o the box I have no problem with it because they can’t strike if anywhere.

9. Extremely surprising!

10. is this a purim joke or something
    who really cares

11. Super enlighting art. I wonder if this is considered abstract art.

12. My grandson brought home the Matches. He was strining the matches bis time I complained to the principal (as my son was uncomfotable to complain) The principal justified the Rebbi. I was shocked! Isn’t safety with the Children our top priority?

13. “Fire” the teacher!

14. Big deal im sure the morah explained to them not to play with them they are for the family to use to light the monorah. im sure everyone here has matches in our home and we dont hide them we leave them right on the table because we teach our children from birth that matches are dangerous

15. wrong wrong wrong. Talk to staff at any burn center or any Hatzolah member. Primary kids can definitely strike a match.

16. Being that my house burned down from a fire and I have a fear of fire I would be furious if my son came home with such a project.

17. Um…pretty dangerous. Not too bright I might add.

18. There shouldn’t be one universal judgment on this issue. Some children are more responsible than others. In some cases too much parental safeguard can slow down the development of personal responsibility. Parents should decide, and schools should listen to parental input. If we have a free market on school choice, both sides of the issue can get their way.

19. Very creative! I want this teacher for my son!

20. I don’t think you should have posted this – the teacher knows who she is – the other kids in the class – parents – know who it is – Why publicize? It is a questionable matter about the matches – I personally think the teacher just didn’t realize, and thought matches much cuter than popsicle sticks or toothpicks, but this should be resolved quietly with a note to the teacher. A LICHTIGE Chanukah!

21. For stageQ, you should be arrested for publishing that. You probably run with your kids in front of cars to cross the street, and go through red lights and stop signs.

22. for two reasons. 1-that any teacher would come up with a project so dangerous and 2 that there is even a discussion about the appropriateness of the project. It makes me think twice about how little value some people place on their and other’s children.

23. To Machmir: good for you that your the kind of parent to locks everything up so your children will try all those things behind your back in a dangerous way without supervision. For us we bring our children up with proper education were everything is allowed and proper training taught, about the dangers of it. our children have no curiosity about the items to go behind our backs, and even if they did they will have been properly trained. yes all our child handle and know how to shoot guns among many other “dangerous” items

24. what’s to think about? it’s dangerous!

25. Its our fault. You can NOT expect the schools to attract top-level talent, especially for the tounger grades, w/ the putrid salaries they’re paying. I think its a nes the Rebbes and Morahs show up every day, w/ a smile & give their all to b mechanech our kids. I couldnt do that; could u ?

26. I disagree with whomever thinks that leaving dangerous things around to educate their children is normal!!!!! U CANNOT trust a 5 yr old to be mature enuf when there is danger around. Have u ever tlc ur child to go to bed and he came out. Educating ur children is great and making them aware of how to act and react to dangerous situations is imp. But if ur child devides to act like a child and touch those matches and c”v causes a fire and someone gets hurt then there is no going back. Don’t temp ur children by leaving dangerous things around. And u can educate them and be safe at the same time. I think ppl convince themselves that being lax in their children’s safety is giving their children space to mature……. It’s really just an excuse!!!

27. Common sense people, that’s dangerous!!

28. i do not think it is anybody’s business other than that parent and a note to the teacher. please take this off the site it is not fundamental to anybody.
