Back to School!

Many kids across the midwest dread today and many of their parents count down to today like they’re children counting the days until Christmas – school starts today!

Know the exits. Know the difference between cover and concealment. The best way to win a fight is not get in a fight(thanks @KevinM ). If you have no way out but to fight, fight like your the 3rd monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark, and brother, it’s starting to rain.

I always go with the trusted stranger danger talk, bullies are actually babies to be stood up to, and teachers aren’t your parents no matter how much they want to act like they are. Always with respect, but you’ll only ever answer to God, your parents, and yourself
