Active, concerned DADS making a difference! Soccer Moms in the school yard kiss bo-bo's and yelling matches, but most are helpless in dealing with out-sized physical melees.
I have a Niece/Godchild in the Mobile, AL Middle School/Jr. High School Sh-t Hole Environment. She's a big girl capable of taking up for herself in most cases - except for the over-sized, over-age- for-the-grade-level hold-overs. She needs the "premium" pay scale & insurance benefits offered (as combat pay) by the public school system - God help her. Tales of true life incidents and the lack of administration reaction and future prevention would curl your toenails.
I'm sure she would welcome a DADS ON DUTY presence on her campus. Physical presence and threat of meaningful intervention makes a difference.
I know it gets outta hand quickly these days, but a good schoolyard ass-whippin, whether you get it or give it, every now and then isn't necessarily a bad thing. It teaches a lot of life lessons.
And please, don't all the woke warriors attack me all at once...
In my day a one-on-one ass-whupping was always a gamble. Today it's five-on-one, knife, or gun. There's no longer honor, integrity, or fairness. If there was we could still look up to sport figures.
