Open Quote Worst site at BPS! If you were to take a poll from parents and students of those that have experienced hatefulness, bullying, and violence versus those that have not then you’d see what I mean. That’s not even the 1/2 of it! CI is known for having upper-level admin and much of the staff themselves that allow this to occur. Instead of helping those that have been hurt, bullied and beat up, they’d rather punish them than the actual guilty parties. How do you think all of the above impacts the learning environment huh???
