I can relate we live in SC & not the civilized parts. Both my 15 yr old & 11 yr old have had their battles at school. My youngest put the smackdown (figuratively) at school against one of his teachers who that her classroom was her personal Bible study & my 15yr old had a blast at election time debating these little nutters at school.

Sometimes you can only do so much but when they come back to tell you of their conquests you know you've done right.
