During the summer, we run a 'Hood Kids' program
for kids from Paterson Park (a not so nice area of
Baltimore city). We taught them to sail, but they
were far from polite and well behaved. If you
banned the vulgar language, those kids wouldn't
have been able to talk. They also could not
comprehend the concept of de-rigging and putting
things away. Every session had at least one fight
between the kids.
No, these home schooled kids were really great.
Even my son, who is in our high school program
(which is also running) said the home school group
is better than the high school group.

We don't deal with kids that are uncontrollable. I think all kids
would rather sail than put stuff away, but you've got to have guts to
take on the kind you mentioned.
