[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks this kid totally overreacted?  He got chased. Period. he didn't get threatened or touched.  One kid got chased by other kids.  Isn't that just ... part of the life of a child?

Nothing bad happened. [/quote]

The next time a group of people chase you while yelling threats, you should just carry on as if nothing was wrong. If they don't touch you, there's no problem.

While this may be common in most children's lives, doesn't it say something about our society that we accept it as a normal rite of passage?[/quote]

You are a lunatic. What do you think they boys would have done if he stopped ... talk it out like men!

Are you f'ing kidding me.

A boy at our school was beaten so badly by boys mad about a girl he missed a whole 1/2 a year of school. Concussion so bad he will never be 100% again. [/quote]

A little off topic, so I apologize but as a mom of a middle schooler in a small charter, is this really what is common, or even happens a couple of times a year, at DCPS high schools and charters? Schools like Wilson, Latin, etc included? This is horrifying if even close to commonplace. No child should ever be chased, threatened and beaten at school. Fights sometimes, maybe but not beatings. And even more scary that the school(s) aren't outraged as well.[/quote]

Here is a link to a gang related death earlier this year associated with a small charter:

There was another for a young man I thought from a KIPP school earlier this year as well.

Violence is real - and children are threatened and die.   [/quote]
