so much bullying and it is never really taken care of unless a parent has to step in Close Quote

by a parent
Thursday, February 23, 2017

There is a problem with bullying. Teachers are told and do nothing about the problems, very light on punishment for the bullying and harassment. When kids fight back, then the harsher punishments come out. BOE, Principal, and Deans do not listen to reason. Stuck on across the board policies rather than reviewing each situation. Bad kids are allowed to participate in sports and cause problems for good kids. See other posts about bullying being ignored. My son asked if what was happening to him was bullying and the dean lied to him. The principal agreed wtih me but would not lighten the punishment on my son when he stuck up for himself. This is second event within 12 months. Close Quote
