Kid at the after school program I work at recently switched schools and hes loving it and told me excitedly about his science project on the bus.
The previous charter school kicked him out because of behavior issues, so he had to start at a public school. The charter school in question is more like a prison than a school and doesn't actually seem to teach anything. The little dude on the bus literally said "They're teaching me science!!!" and I was both like happy for him and a little heart broken at the same time, like... did they not teach you science at the charter school?
Regardless, that he was happy about science and his new school kind of made me smile.
Things that also make me smile that are uh... less wholesome:
-Playing violent video games
-Fuckin'
-Outsmarting people
