I think you have hit the nail 100% on the head: We need to educate kids about the difference. The trouble is, the state and local administrators don't put minutes into our day to teach that stuff. There are ways around that limitation by integrating it into math and language lessons but I think if this were the 70's the powers-that-be would have given it a full day if it needed it. Hope to see you around.

The trouble is, the state and local administrators don’t put minutes into our day to teach that stuff. There are ways around that limitation by integrating it into math and language lessons but I think if this were the 70’s the powers-that-be would have given it a full day if it needed it.

Hope to see you around.

I wouldn't want any kid to take up beating and be defenseless. Equally true, I wouldn't want a kid to be a bully.
