Mo Paint, Mo Problems

Just because you’re an adult, doesn’t make you honest. Mean Girls, Heathers, Scary Movie, and all 90’s and 80’s movies taught us that high school is tough. Bullying is a rough patch that at a minimum 75% of kids face at least once in their lives. Today it is beginning earlier in life. Elementary school is the new high school. Should a kid be punished for defending themselves? What is the difference between retaliation and self defense? What if the bully is not only the student, but also the teacher? Join us as we discuss our children’s struggles this week along with our takes as parents. We do see and understand the struggles that good teachers face, but sometimes………. others just really need to do better.
