seriously, can't you just image all the ghetto kids from Fowell getting into fights in their school uniforms over who's got the higher GPA... I'd much prefer that to 10 minutes of screaming profanity while I'm mowing the grass and a rock through my front window a month after I moved in.
In my experience, (and I generalize vastly here) suburban kids are too chicken to be bold enough to curse at an adult from across the street. Why are they too chicken? Maybe lack of ghetto swagger? I think its a mentality they somehow inherited.
Sorry - too O. Winfrey for a minute.
Bertine, why are the parents in my neighborhood not like your parents?
I still wish the parents in my neighbor hood had higher expectations!
