themselves are bullies, and think their child can do no wrong. When educators and schools take a stand they are threatened with law suits. We live in a crazy world. Inspite of it all I hold regular class meetings and teach students that bullying is wrong, and teach them skills and strategies to use when a bully shows up on the playground.
Yes most of the children with problems the parents either don't show up or have the attitude "not my child". Playgrounds may still be managable but with technology today, postings, texting etc. bullying takes on a whole new dimension.
