The Things Kids Say…

As I was helping out at one of the Forest Hills Elementary schools, one of the students made a comment that their school was falling apart. I happened to mention to him that some other schools might be a little worse off. The girl next to him said that Grand Rapids Public Schools would fall into that category. Next, she said, “My mom says that all the kids in Grand Rapids schools are mean.” Wow. I’d love to know the context of that parent’s statement. Of course, I told her that just because they might act a little different than her doesn’t make them mean, not the mention the fact that there are plenty of mean kids in Forest Hills schools. It’s crazy what some people teach their children.
