[quote=Anonymous]This is also a training issue. Sounds like teachers aren't trained in recognizing and responding to bullying. And those higher up are neither. Besides ill will, there may actually be little awareness and capacity to deal with it. I'm no expert but recently heard our (DCPS) principal outline how much s/he learned at a workshop on anti-bullying practices. And s/he thought s/he was well trained on it. So, individually or collectively, make sure your school has the tools to recognize, respond, and most importantly prevent bullying. There are many nationally acclaimed anti-bullying programs and also classroom management programs that come with an anti-bullying piece. 
I don't know how your school is run, but I can tell you from experience in a public school that having significant parental co-governance mechanisms really come in handy in such instances. So at another level, you may also want to think about making sure such concerns are taken seriously more generally at your school.[/quote]
