Identifying Schoolyard Name-Calling

I could hug [school psychologist and counselor] Ken Williams (“School Days,” Metropolis, by Valerie J. Nelson, April 22) for finally addressing the “name-calling to complete ridicule and total humiliation” experienced by many of our youngsters in today’s schools. He knows that kids always have been mean to each other. He is right, and his determination and understanding are so welcome.
