[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, kids are meaner now. It's part of the reason teachers are leaving education.  There are no consequences for bullying, even in Elementary school.  The bullies get bolder and the kids who were bullied also get meaner because the adults didn't protect them.  Thank goodness there are more options for parents to get their kids out of public schools these days.[/quote]

Who took away the meaningful punishment is schools?  (hint: it was not the republicans).[/quote]

Yes, schools famously never coddled bullies back in the olden days when Republicans ruled the earth[/quote]
Seriously. They still had corporal punishment when my spouse was in HS (rural, red America), and both he and his brother were bullied in HS. And god forbid anyone suggest the football star golden boy be kinder to the other kids, they just needed to toughen up and stop letting him push their heads in the toilet bowl!  (Said football star is now living in a trailer, sporting a bad combover, and selling used cars, so at least karma showed up in the end.)

And I can assure you that no boys who grabbed my ass or made lewd comments about girl's bodies in HS was every punished by the god-fearing, family values Republican administration either. Even though we had a draconian dress code and [i]nothing [/i]was "on display to tempt the boys".[/quote]
