[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](yes, slap-ass week was a thing for several semesters and unwanted touching still continues, although not in as highly organized a fashion).  Kids are not necessarily "scared" of these behaviors because it is considered "normal" and something that will never change.  Sad.  [/quote]

These behaviors were common at my middle-class middle school decades ago, alas -- but in the category of "boys will be boys", not "behavior problem".  I'm really glad that society has advanced since I was in middle school.[/quote]

[b]Same here- I was in sixth grade and didn't recognize it as harassment at the time, but looking back I'm angry that teachers just looked the other way[/b] when a couple boys gave me a really hard time for a whole.  I remember one of my teachers just saying, "oh he just likes you!" Flicking a girl on the head with a pencil while yelling "boozum!" sure is a funny of showing that you like her.  :roll: [/quote]

I remember bawling my eyes out and having a teacher tell me, "Oh, you're a pretty girl. He just likes you." That was an awful time. The boys were never held accountable for their behavior. [/quote]
