However, if the school tries to give the student a harsher punishment, the parents go to the school board who insists that the principal lighten the sentence. Its sad, but schools are run by the parents a lot more than people think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847592473384328801.post-82084516346925314722011-03-23T15:49:00.825-04:002011-03-23T15:49:00.825-04:00I don't think he overreacted..I am not sure if...I don't think he overreacted..I am not sure if I would react similarly, but at the same time, I am a lawyer and there is a good chance I would make use of my and my children's rights. Either way though, I can't blame him for his reaction. These days kids aren't the same kids as they were when we grew up, I feel.

Absolutely I would get authorities involved. The school should have expelled that kid! If the school wont do anything about it, I would definitely stepped up. Yes, I agree, parents are responsible for their kids actions and should become more of a disciplinary rather than a friend. But, if I enroll my child somewhere, I am trusting that Nicole Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233171456753318043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847592473384328801.post-5877936941718384082011-03-23T13:15:35.415-04:002011-03-23T13:15:35.415-04:00Bullying is a growing problem in schools.

But since the kid was constantly being bullied, I might have done the same. It's too bad, though, because it sounds like the BULLY should be the one to leave the school. A school needs to be a safe place to learn, and that bully will just pick on someone else. I would have expected the bully to be expelled and sent to an NHGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972411762984654505noreply@blogger.com
