[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longfellow's solution to the bullying was to pull the victims  out of class for victim self help sessions each week. So victims were punished twice by missing instruction time.  I don't know if they still treat the victims like they are the problem instead of suspending the bullies, but I hope something gets done. The staff are worthless at Longfellow.[/quote]

As parents we have a role not letting our kids be punished. Every time my kid is a victim I report it and instruct the administrators to go talk to the perpetrators who are supposed to miss instruction time.[/quote]

Parents should be advocates for their kids, but school administrators should be looking out for all the kids.  That includes not rushing to judgment when some parent claims their child was the victim and someone else's child was the aggressor.

If the situation is clear-cut, then the aggressor should be disciplined and sessions where the victim is offered advice on coping and self-help strategies should be optional.

But many situations are not clear-cut, the parents of the alleged aggressor may advocate just as fiercely as the parents of the alleged victim, and the school administrators are operating in an environment in which their goal is to help all the kids mature and learn, not conduct lengthy, intensive fact-finding investigations into every incident that takes place among kids with immature brains and budding hormones.

Please don't act like adults at Longfellow don't see and hear these incidents. Truth=no one wants to deal with the ahole bully parents who are bigger aholes than the bullies!  Carole needs to get her head out her arse and do her job and if she can't get a backbone she should be gone.[/quote]

You sound like the biggest "ahole" here.  Kihm has the job as long as she wants. [/quote]
