A few of the 5th graders were having very grown up conversations this afternoon. It started off with racism and wound its way to politics. Some of the things that were said would have caused an argument between them last year. But now that they are in middle school, these kids have magically figured out how to talk with people that have different opinions and not get hung up on proving that theirs is the only right view. (If only they could talk this way once they all become adults!)
As I heard bits and pieces of the conversation in between radio chatter, I could tell they had changed the subject once again. This time it seemed like they were talking about capital punishment. I was super impressed. And then I heard... Darth Vader...
Good to know that 5th graders can still be 5th graders!
