Reply #12: You are not the boss of that child

[Bluenorthwest]

Nor were you the boss of me and my class when we were his age. We staged a sit in. Adults propping us up? HA! Try adults having cows trying to get us to come back to class, sputtering when given a clear list of demands, starting with administration people coming to talk to us.
We went on for hours. Men with suits had to stand and plead with wee tiny kids. We made a compromise that stands at that school until this day.
Kids are not idiots. We saw a sit in on TV, and it looked like a good way to go. It was. Adult arrogance like yours is just smug stupidity, fear of physically smaller but actually larger minds. Run! Empowered 9 year olds!
