Sadly this is true. We can't have them feeling badly about
themselves, so graduate high school they must.

Oh, do go on.

And you do!

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.

Oh yes, help me.

Please
