Hello All,

Just seeing if any current parents can tell me if the vast majority of kids at Teddies thrive academically. I have heard this from current parents and students.

Hopefully your ted doesn’t fall in with the wrong crowd at school

Not a clue what teddies are, except for the cuddle ones but these answers are great 🤣

My Teddy identifies as a male, even though he lacks a penis.

Well I expect he has blue shorts and that’s all He needs.

My Teddy is very old now but still has full MC 😊

I don't think Teddies have kids. They don't have the bits for it

Unless it's a stuffed goat. They might have kids. Don't know how academic they'd be though

They have growlers though.

I know that they also weed out at sixth form

Get stuffed with that attitude.

@MsFogi you are right though!

You’d be better off shifting this to the Education board. Otherwise it looks like something to do with the academic abilities of soft toys.

Snort. Thank you for the giggle.

SnowyPetals · 03/07/2025 18:33

My teddies did indeed struggle academically but they have excellent listening skills and are great at therapy.

Funnywonder · 03/07/2025 18:38

What is Teddies? I want to google it but - ya know - sausage paws.

viques · 03/07/2025 18:38

My bear was a bit behind. 🙁

Oh, sorry, got that wrong, my behind was a bit bare.🙂

IWFH · 03/07/2025 18:38

Years ago it had the reputation of being for rich kids who weren't academic enough to get into MCS.
I'd bear that in mind.

Is this like in 101 Dalmatians where the adults are the dogs' pets?

Children are the teddies' pets? I expect there are some that refuse children who struggle academically, but most just like the cuddles and aren't too fussy.

Does he though? Are you sure? Perhaps he just keeps it nicely tucked away as all clean bears do. They are much nicer than human males.
