[quote=Scott Fausset]dwelsh, Great advice!! - "dont let a jerk ruin your day." Can I use that? Seems very useful, AND poignant ... LOL.
Scott, use it all you want man! I use it and teach it - it works! However, with my students (I teach PE grades k-5) I sugar-coat it just a bit. Its not nice to label someone a 'jerk'. So, i tell a kid, if someone is ***acting like a jerk***, that is THEIR (the one acting like a jerk) problem. How sad for them! Must not have any friends, or maybe they are having a BAD day. Whatever. That is THEIR problem - when we let it make us miserable - then it ALSO becomes OUR problem. We have to teach kids to DETACH and not be CODEPENDENT.
