Every year the seventh graders read The Outsiders, the poignant story of two competing social groups- the greasers and the socs. It provides wonderful topics for discussion: peer pressure, group as well as individual identity, whether violence/fighting is ever a solution, what courage is, and all the complexities around “fitting in”. It was fun to watch the movie today starring a young Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze.
