[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's great when the bond between students and teacher is repaired like this. However sometimes [b]circles are used to deflect blame and distract when one side is clearly in the wrong and the administration wants to protect them anyway.[/b] I don't have enough info to say whether it's one or the other, OP. But I'll say that if it's just this one time that the teacher did something, I'd want to give them the benefit of the doubt. [/quote] This is exactly what happens most of the time. It's absurd to me that a child who was hurt (whether physically, mentally) is forced to sit in a meeting with the person in the wrong even if the victim doesn't want to do it. Why are we forcing people to talk it out, understand why the bully was being a bully, and to accept apologies that most likely aren't sincere? This to me is more of a punishment to the victim while the bully gets nothing but supposed empathy. Puhleeze. [/quote]
