    Sadly we love hierarchy dominance just about as much as we hate how much it makes us look like apes.

    Teachers and school administrators almost always side with bullies. They can’t help themselves.

      I know. My child had a terrible time* of it, during their school years. And I’m slowly* becoming more aware, because I’ve almost no filter and blurt out whatever crosses my mind. I’m addressing it, but reversion sneaks up on me. I just have to keep working at that, and way too often, missing what seems obvious to others or very belatedly.

      *Yay autocorrect
