You'll begin voicing concerns about inter-quadra bullying at PTA meetings and asking teachers to tend to your child's valued functions, and eventually, unless you live in California where subscribing to mystification and bamboozlement is the norm, someone will alert Child Protective Services after becoming convinced that you belong to a cult and are adversely affecting your progeny with nonsense. Let the kid be a kid, not a type.
