Sadly this is true. We can't have them feeling badly about themselves, so
graduate high school they must.
I see this same behavior in my students, particularly the emotionally
troubled children. They can be quite clever with technology (e.g., a
computer), because no social skills are necessary. However, when forced to
sustain a logical debate, or even friendly discussion, they tend to fall
apart quickly, resorting to such low-brow activities as mom insults, foul
language, threats, and all variations of homophobic name calling.
We can only hope their guidance counselors are astute enough to hear their
cries for help.
