[quote=Anonymous]One reason schools in general have such difficulty in dealing with bullying is the parents.  Every parent claims their child is the victim.  The school can only act on what they see, not simply on what parents or students report.  There is no shortage of involved parents who will blindly defend their child when the school contacts them.  They will come in for meeting after meeting and explain away behaviors.  The bully is the focus - how can Larla be redirected in a positive way?  What teacher will you assign to Larla to help her be successful?  Why don't you challenge Larla more, she's obviously bored and (allegedly) acting out?  Why are you targeting my child instead of teaching her?  The constant barrage of bullying reports flood the administrators and they are basically just trying to put out fires.  The squeakiest wheel with the most free time to spend in meetings with the school gets the desired outcome.  There are plenty of qualified applicants out there - not renewing contracts will get parents to pay attention.  Our DD opted to leave.  There are many great schools in this area and not one good reason to stay in a toxic environment.[/quote]
