Quentin: Girls and Boys Can Too Be Best Friends
Quentin streaked into the classroom mid-paragraph, his words tumbling over each other, his manic enthusiasm edged in hostility and his overreaching intelligence ragged with frustration. Nothing he could do or produce suited him, and it had to be somebody's fault. He ran, leapt into the air to swipe at anything above his head, and slid to a stop at his destination. The children avoided him warily, preferring to fade away from the vicinity of his approach rather than wait and see what might develop. They begged not to have to sit next to him.
"Destroy" was Quentin's motto. He knew everyone hated him, so he hated them first. But mostly he hated himself. He screamed his hatred at everyone, vowing to kill them, me, and himself and to destroy the entire universe. His mother had brought him to our primary school when he was four from one that had demanded he be medicated with Ritalin. It was certainly a demand we could understand, one that had its appeal, but nonetheless one we firmly resisted. Integrating Quentin into the class would take time, energy, dedication, skill, intuition, and a lot of luck.
