I am a wee bit older .. yet I shared the need for a pocket knife. I lived on a farm and no hard working son of a farmer would get caught without his pocketknife … My transgression was taking it to the first day of school .. ouch is all I can say … thank you for your story, it beings back honest memories of my childhood .. makes me chuckle .. and points out how far we have moved away from those days in terms of the fear and punishment.
Ikr. And what are you going to do about it⁉️ Children, mostly boys, mostly black and brown boys are languishing in baby prisons headed for the big one on the school to penitentiary for profit pipeline that keeps whole towns employed; misdiagnosed and over medicated in locked facilities, kept from the proper education because of what you are writing about. Get on the School Board, the Parole Board. Do something about it instead of waiting till these kids pop - as humanely speaking - they must. A hit dog will holler.
