As a teacher of third-grade boys, I find any comparison of them to the current occupant of the Oval Office to be quite offensive and, frankly, misleading. By this point in the school year, third-grade boys are becoming more aware of their peers and the give-and-take of social interaction, that their words matter and that name-calling will not be tolerated.
Unfortunately, nearly a whole year into this presidency, Donald Trump has regressed to the point that his lashing out and name-calling have actually increased. At what point do even his supporters acknowledge how degrading his behavior is? As would happen to a third-grader still acting out at this point in the school year, there would be consequences to effect positive change. When are we going to see that same standard applied to Mr. Trump?

Note from KBJ: Degrading? Barack Obama's behavior was degrading. We love Donald Trump precisely because—get ready for it, Kathy—he doesn't take shit from you or anyone else.
