[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again,  parents can control behavior at home but they are not present at school.   If a child has no consequences for bad behavior at school and there is no communication from the school to parents regarding the bad behavior, then how do you expect the parent to intervene?

Saying that there's nothing a school system can do to stop bullying is not a collaborative approach and is not considered an educational best practice to prevent and address bullying. [/quote]

First and foremost, kids need to come forward and tell their parents and the school when bullying occurs. This girl waited. Other kids haven't bothered to come forward.

Hopefully others will be willing to come forward now that info about the punishment is trickling out. Or maybe not? Probably depends on whether these boys and their friends accept responsibility and magically turn into nice kids, or if they retaliate (which seems to be more likely). [/quote]

It's scary being the student to come forward.  Victims weigh their options and telling a school administrator is a last resort option.  If the school doesn't do anything,  you betcha there will be retaliation by students towards the student who reported the boys. [/quote]

Well, then the parents are the cause.  If kids aren't comfortable sharing their issues and fears with their own parents, blame the parents and DON'T blame the schools. Learning starts at home.  I don't understand today's parenting.

I reported to the principal who did nothing to fix the problem and made my child's life a living hell when school staff told the bully who reported him.  My child and I regret ever submitting a report to the principal.

MCPS doesn't care about fixing school bullying problems.

- sign a parent who has been there and done that
