Picked up little man at FBMS this afternoon. We immediately headed to Kerrville to visit his grandparents. I asked him about the fight that took place on the first day. He said that it “was crazy”. Apparently, a 7th grader and beat the brakes off of an 8th grade bully. After the 7th grader was restrained by admin, the 8th grader ran around and threw a behind the back cheap shot, right into his temple. Fortunately, it didn’t faze the 7th grader. One of my son’s friends was there, and of course, got it on his phone. After a second, I said, “do you have it”? He did. He showed it to me, and even though it was muted, literally everything he described was true about the fight. Little Homesick knows the 7th grader, and they call him Big Thomas. My son, and his friends that I gave rides home to today, claim he’s a gentle giant, and one of the nicest, quietest guys in their grade. There were not a ton of kids around when it happened, which is why I think the admin response time wasn’t immediate. I know this is shitty, but a bully picking on a kid and getting the hard truth isn’t something I completely oppose. It’s just the here and now of the situation that scares the shit out of me.
