dude Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 CBS Sunday Morning addressed school bullying in a very insightful manner. I am trying to find a podcast or YouTube rebroadcast of this. In the meantime CBS posted this on their website. Read it HERE Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 This sounds very labor intensive, but it's great that they're willing to put that much effort into it. I'm glad they're not just expelling Stephanie, but, at what point do you do that so you can concentrate on other kids? I'd think they could give her a deadline to get her act together. All these second chances mean she's continuing to attack other kids' self-esteem. They deserve not to be bullied, to hate going to schoool everyday, just as much as she deserves all this attention.

Merkin Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Am I wrong in thinking Stephanie appears to be the one in the driver's seat in this situation, aided and abetted by her mother? James Quote Link to comment
The Pecman Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Troubling story. But at least they're shining some light on it and trying to improve the situation. Quote Link to comment

You would be shocked to know how many of them are out there and schools and social workers just let it go because they don't want to get into it. Quote Link to comment
The Pecman Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 My mother was an elementary school teacher for more than 25 years, and she told me that in the last few years she was teaching, the tension and violence between parents and teachers was getting worse and worse. It had gotten to the point where they always had to have a third-party present just as a witness, usually the principal, to help keep everybody calm and avoid temper flare-ups. I think nowadays, they videotape the meetings as well. Times are tough. Quote Link to comment
