Principals and Other Schoolyard Bullies - Nick Fonda

A collection of short stories by an Eastern Townships writer from Richmond.  The stories focus on childhood lives and school experiences.  I sympathize with the issues and criticisms he brings up around school culture and its effect on children and parents.  The last story is interesting - in a very tentative way, it seems to be an exploration of cultural difference and perhaps even underlying prejudice within the French school system in Quebec.
