Most teachers at our local school systems reprimand the victims, saying they are "tattle tales." While the bullies do not get in trouble, therefore continuing their bully ways.
No fighting allowed, but you cannot report to the teacher if someone hits or hurts you. And you are not allowed to strike back at them or you will be the one to get in trouble.
It's not just teenagers or high school. I have 2 children in Elementary School, (youngest in second grade) who have to deal with this on a daily basis.
It's no wonder so many parents pull their children out of the public school system and send them to private schools or homeschool them.
But there are working parents out there that don't really have the time to homeschool, and parents that can't afford private schools. These people shouldn't be forced to just "accept" the way the teachers behave on these matters.
As parents, we send our children to school, trusting they will be safe. If the teachers cannot enforce the school rules to all students equally (reprimand the bullies and stop calling the victims "tattle tales") then that teacher should find a different occupation.
The school board should step in and correct these issues. And they just may, if enough parents make complaints on these cold hearted teachers. Please report all issues to your school board administration. It's up to US, as parents, to protect our children.
