Typical small town favoritism.Certain teachers allow the problem kids to bring down other children. The cater to the bully system. Instead of dealing with a problem certain teachers and staff force other kids to play with and be bullied by a child instead of dealing with the problem all because they dont want to upset the parent of the class bully.
