Today at the playground some kids were trying to push Jesse around. Apparently they had mistaken him for a kid they knew from school and push around there. Even with all the metal detectors and police and tasering kids, it still seems that there's a lot of plain ol' bullying and nastiness. I really want my kids to focus on learning instead of worrying if they're going to make it through lunchtime without bruises or people calling them names or teaching them prejudice or stealing from them or any number of other things. Anyway, I'm sure some kids thrive in public school. I did fine myself most of the time, but I think it's worse now than when we were kids.
