The new kid

Jackson has a new kid in his class named Damian.  That should give you an indication right there where this story is going.  Damian is apparently a little punk of a child.  He has been getting in trouble a lot and has had at least one note sent home.  This is according to Jackson so keep that in mind.  Jackson said that Damian poked his girlfriend, Emma, in the head with his pencil.  I asked Jack if Damian had done anything mean to him yet.  And Jack said, "No, not yet.  But I feel something coming."

For some reason, Jakeb always seemed to get seated next to the bad kid in class. I remember this especially in 3rd grade. The kid was awful and Jakeb hated sitting by him. We always try to turn something into a learning experience for our kids and thinking that Jakeb could handle it, we kept in close contact with his teacher and told Jakeb that God always knows what we can handle and knowing his fellow class members, he was probably the only one in there that could handle sitting by him even though it wasn't ideal. Anyway, for what that's worth... you've got a lot of school years ahead.

Eventually the kid moved away and all was good but that situation seemed to repeat itself several times after that.

We also told him to take note of how those kids made him feel and be careful not to do those things and be like them.
