[quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for parents of kids who are counseled out, but... I also feel bad for the peers of kids who should be counseled out but aren't. There's a kid in my DC's class who is consistently nasty and disruptive: bullying, snickers and whispers and insults other kids when they speak, etc. It is amazing how toxic this one kid has been. Numerous other kids and parents have raised concerns with the school over several years, and nothing has happened. Kid has been talked to by teachers, staff and school counselor numerous times (parents too). No effect. Kid keeps doing exactly the same thing, making many other kids miserable. In private conversations the teachers express great frustration.

Part of me feels for this kid and family: clearly the kid has issues; with luck the kid will grow up and grow out of this behavior eventually; don't want to permanently stigmatize a middle schooler; kid is just a kid.

But another part of me feels like: enough is enough. How long is the school going to tolerate a kid whose behavior is truly toxic?

Apparently the answer is "forever."[/quote]
