Looked at the chart--- that's not so bad! Goodness- I'm down 75% on IPIC.
Oh CHris, btw, I read the articles on teen brains! You know we had to fight that perception of CW with teachers a lot so this was nothing new to us. They kept thinking that because he could do amazing things with math or science, he could figure out why you DON"T publish an online newspaper questioning your principal's sexuality and your math teacher's hormonal condition. This has gone on since he was 5 when they hauled me to the school because he had written swear words on the stalls in the kindergarten bathroom.

"Why do you think it was CW?" I asked indignantly.

"He's the only one who can spell those words correctly." said the teacher.

"You gave them a spelling test on this?"

But he had done it--- he admitted it.

"Why would you do that?" we asked him, perplexed. He didn't even know what the words meant.

"There were already words there," he said. "But they were spelled wrong."
