I can say for certain that going to school and dealing with the daily rigor therein really affects children. After they’ve been off for a few weeks and thrust back into the routine, their behaviors may drop of precipitously. I can say this because I’ve watched it happen with my kids time and again. It results in punishment for the kids on top the exhaustion that led them to the crappy behaviors in the first place.
Dealing with wild kids is draining.
Some Thoughts:
- Learned about a dude named Richard Copeland who saw a dude speeding in El Mirage, AZ and decided to arm himself and chase the speeder (speeding himself ironically). Once he caught the speeder he shot out the speeder’s back tire. Fortunately this vigilante was arrested. Only in AZ.
