As your own kids return to school, look them in the eye and give them this advice on what they should do:

Make up clever, derogatory nicknames for others. It will frighten them into doing what you want.

Tell many outlandish, inventive, entertaining stories. Exaggerate and include lies making them sound like "facts."

Don't follow any rules. If you break enough rules, those in charge will give up on trying to discipline you.

Kids, these are valuable lessons if you want to run for office someday.
