It would seem that while most people seem to be at loggerheads over national issues, our children are all the while taking sides in school fights.

It may not be on the same terms as that of the adults, but it speaks to children who steal the joy of others having decided that they are the unspoken owners of school corridors and gatekeepers of one's happiness at schools.

When do we as parents own up to the responsibility that our children are far more than the angelic faces that smile at us in our homes?

While they are more than our bundles of joy, to others they are the reason they cannot go to school, or even public spaces.
