This is my friend La-La-Linda. La-La-Linda is a public school teacher. She teaches second grade. A couple years ago one of her students took a gun he found under the couch at home and shot himself in the head. He didn't realize the gun was real. His mother was devastated. La-La-Linda is a wonderful teacher who spends all her own time and money on her kids in her class. My friend Shula's brother, Zack, said that the American government has it backwards - we should be investing time and money on children as they are developing their brains, instead we put all our money into educating teenagers and young adults at college long after their brains are already formed. Then he looked at me and said, "Am I right?" I just smiled at him 'cause really I don't know the answer, I'm just a baby.
