Aged 11 I hated my teacher and keyed his car. As an adult I worried that this act meant I was a sociopath. Saw said teacher a few years ago in an airport having a go at his wife. Turns out he's still a massive twat and 11 year-old me was just an excellent judge of character.

In the same vein...

An SMS convo with my oldest brother.

@fesshole @blogdiva Kids often know. Students at a school I worked for ages ago got reprimanded for referring to a new, older, male hire as 'the paedo'. Three months later he was arrested for possession of CSAM and grooming.

The kids felt something was off long before the adults suspected anything.

@fesshole It's actually decades of abuse by a bunch of little sociopaths that burned him from the inside out and now all he sees and speaks is fire.
@fesshole Well, that beats me drinking my teacher's morning coffee. ☕
:) LOL
