Where's the "irrelevant, psycho-babble alert"?

On Tuesday, students sat in groups and shared their feelings after they confronted those they had wronged in the past.

Then, after a group hug, they all joined hands and sang the Barney song.

I'm gonna hurl. Seriesly.

I obviously come from a different time and place!

In the real world some of the most valuable lessons I learned was the ability to deal with bullies, psychotics, manipulitive worms, cheaters, brown noses, goody two shoes and all the other behaviors we encountered in high school. While I do use reading, writing and arithmetic on a daily basis as a small business owner, the single most important skill learned was the ability to recognize these traits in others. There are a multitude of people who display these traits regularly in life.

I say get used to it and learn your lessons well. This is high school utopia garbage to me.

It was a day of tears, forgiveness and sharing painful memories at Wheat Ridge High School on Tuesday as students hugged and made up with peers they once picked on.

Well, that's one way to deal with it.

In high school, I had a bully pick on me once. Once. : )

Gee, these students probably can't find Spain on a map, spell "library", factor numbers, but they can learn to forgive. H'm. And do parents have any say anymore in what they teach their kids, or is it now up to the schools to teach morals?

I got picked on. Sure it was painful. But guess what? I GOT OVER IT!! And it didn't require any touchy-feely stuff to do it. You just dust off your britches and move on.
