Wow I heard about this yesterday (Tues) and could hardly believe my ears. Perhaps the Ritalin isn't enough? These eddicated jackasses must have been the left-out squares who were always picked last when they were young. I hope the parents raise holy hell at the next school board meeting.

The Latest Thievery: Best Friends

There's a great moment in the 1993 movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer." Ben Kingsley plays a coach for a 7-year-old chess prodigy named Josh. Kingsley wants the boy to stop playing chess in the park and devote himself completely to Kingsley's tutelage. Josh's mother doesn't like the idea, because she's a jealous guardian of her son's childhood. "Not playing in the park would kill him. He loves it."

Kingsley complains that her decision "just makes my job harder."

"Then your job's harder," she responds.

As the father of a 7-year-old myself, that scene comes to my mind...
