Civil Disobediance

So my Godson is a smart a boy. He's five, in Kindergarten and is reading books that are meant for second graders. He's having some behavior trouble in school. The class is learning A- is for apple, B-is for ball.

(Stupid no child left behind act. I was for it too. Sounded good on paper. In practice it's just dumming the class down to the slowest learner.)

Doesn't take a child psychologist to figure out....HE'S BORED OUT OF HIS MIND and trying to entertain himself.

Now he has gotten into trouble for spelling his answers to the teacher. When she asks him what do you do if a friend tells you to do something you know is wrong. He replies D-O-N-O-T-D-O-I-T. Spelling it all out.

It's fucking brilliant! They should give the child the Nobel prize for civil disobedience. (Yes, I know there is no such thing but there should be!)
