[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:01,  I truly hope we are not just accepting bullying as an episode of acceptance.  You felt reassured that she talked about it.  But yet a parent that has child who's a victim is not satisfied.  So, where does the problem lie, is it because you heard the conversation and felt comfortable but is it the parent who's the victim and doesn't see any action?[/quote]

22:01 here: Bullying cannot be an episode of acceptance, no. In fact, bullying shouldn't even exist and certainly shouldn't be tolerated. What I meant to convey is that bullying is more complicated than declaring zero tolerance on it, although that's an important step to recognizing it. Thus, I'd judge a school not by whether it exists (in fact, I'd give a school credit in recognizing that it does because everything else is a lie) but what is being done and what lasting measures are being developed about it. I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that anti-bullying efforts consist of a precess and not a one-time reaction to a particular incident. These efforts need to be embedded in the whole of a school culture; and that's not a one-time-here-and-now thing. Notwithstanding the need to see action on the individual case, it's just as much the process as a whole and its direction that I'd judge.[/quote]
