“Okay, now. In the spirit of open minds — try to walk in somebody else's shoes at least once a day. Maybe even twice a day.
What's it like for your poor teachers to have to put up with you rowdy, ill-tempered boys and girls? Just kidding. You're all very nice!
What's it like for the other kids in your class? I'm talking about every single kid in this school! What is school like for them? Please walk in their shoes.
Okay, and what's it like for your moms and dads? They think about you all the time. Especially your moms. Now it's time to think about them.
Another thing. This is kind of earth-shakingly important. If you're a bully — stop it right now!
Being a bully could mean you have stuff to work out at home. So try your best to work it out at home.”
