Strangely, I had a similar dream last night - a weird melange of a business
meeting that morphed into being back in 8th grade. I suspect that anyone
that's been processed through a school system will be left with similar scars
though - you're just in it for too many of your formative years to ever
completely lose the feel of being in school.

Not misguided at all I'd say. Kids make a great dramatic tools. Especially
if you can remember what it was really like to be a kid. "Innocent and
naive" may describe some kids but so does "vicious, amoral killers". Kid
characters can be whatever you need them to be.
