This past Friday,I had a horrible day at work. The kids were restless. I suspended two of them and it did little to control the misbehavior. One of the teachers believed since were were close to a full moon and a storm was forecatsed, it made the kids act up. She says that everything that makes animals skiddish in nature also affect us the same way, we are just not always aware of it. I thought it was a very insightful opinion and I will try to document behavior and weather patterns to see how they corelate.
I have realized that although these kids are growing faster and have more "adult" knowledge than we did at thier age, they are still kids and will (for the most part) be controlled if handled properly. If you attempt to treat them like adults, they will act like wretched adults.
There are so many simple explainations to so many of life's mysteries. I feel we make things too complicated most of the times. The sad part is, most people are so used to having complicated solutions, that simple alternatives seem absurd. I've read forums in the past where a person has to express one thought in a 20 page, master's thiesis style post. I'm not saying I dislike long, thoughful prose. Well, I don't really. Say it, try to be funny and move on.
Joke time:
A priest, a rabbi, and a cowboy all walk into a bar together. The bartender looks up at them and says "Is this some kind of joke?"
buh-dum-bum
