[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to ask--should we deal with bullying by driving our kids to school and/or paying for private? Do we pay taxes for only bullies and their parents to enjoy a free education and transportation?

Bullies ultimately want to win. You drive or quit school--they win.

I've dealt with bullying since pre-K, and I never put my DC in a dangerous situation. But you can bet I go to the teacher, the school, or the parents (though the last never works) when it reaches levels that my DC can't handle. We paid a ton of money to live in neighborhood with "good schools," and I'm not letting an 8-year-old derail our life plan.[/quote]

My child's happiness and education is not worth the cost of a 'win'. Ultimately, bullies will lose because kids who are bullies tend to get into trouble with the law later in life.

A good school is relative. Our high school is top-rated in the country but the climate there is stifling.  The problem with not letting an 8 year old (or however age) derail your life plan is that your kid pays the price if the administration is unwilling or unable to handle the situation effectively.

Did you know that if you give the chance for the school to resolve it and they don't, the county then has to shell out for private school tuition? I didn't pull this ripcord, but apparently, it's true.
