You think so? LMAO! Just wait. He will be surrounded by the kids raised by those who are the subject of this book. He will try "fit in" despite what you tell him. You son is the one who has to survive through the school system, not you. Despite all your good intentions, your teaching, he will do what he needs to do in order to "fit in" with the crowd. There is only one thing you can do to change that. Change the crowd. That means private schools or home schooling.
If her son's anything like this 16-year-old, he'll do just fine. Though much of it is indeed far out of whack, there is still strength in my generation... in the country.
