I just started reading Paul's story. I was so amused. It brought back all the days of Jr. and High school. I always hatted the bigger boys cause they would pick on us smaller ones. Then in college I started feeling sorry for them. They are the ones who became garbage men, mechanics, and bums.

Well, the world needs garbage men.....
It is just a matter of water seeking its own level.......
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

My wife teaches five year olds. She can spot, already, tomorrow's thugs, longterm jail inmates, janitors. It's rare she has anyone who is even capable of being a mechanic.
She tries very hard to set them on a better road by making learning both easy and fun, and manages to catch a few every year who would otherwise head for that wonderful degree "Bachelor of Janitorial Studies", and she has managed to save a couple form sexual abuse, simply by noticing that they act in unusual ways (not sexual, just unusual)
We do need people to clean the streets. It seems wholly fair that the bullies end up there, doing it.
I went to a school my parents paid a fortune for. The bullies there ended up in charge in real life and are bullies today. Money and contacts, and selective entry on academic aptitude do make a difference. I guess we get the bullies we pay for. We could have done with those geeks at my school!

But did Paul do naughty things to them and glue their hair together?

Paul may have done naughty things but may not have had anything to do with glue.
