Civil Disobedience


There's a fair amount of stuff that Theo doesn't particularly like about school, but thankfully he has, for the most part, decided to make a quiet and largely respectful stand about it. One of his gripes is that he wants to write in cursive, but they don't teach it in first grade. This galls him. So he recently announced angrily, "Well, I am just going to write in cursive at school, Mom!" And then he stood and stared at me, proud and defiant, waiting for me to have some reaction to his news.

Poor kid wants so badly to "stick it to the man," but he just doesn't know how....
