I went to private school myself, and if anyone got bullied there, they were dealt with instantly; I nearly got thrown out of my school for a relatively minor outburst that would have gotten me arrested had it been at a public high school. In public school, they wait until they can get the most media attention so that morons from the Left can complain about it; same with the unions and special interest groups.James Enfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887897798505326917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-905941220915075462011-03-24T19:04:54.244-07:002011-03-24T19:04:54.244-07:00@McThag.

The distressing part is being punished for self-defense and the lesson that teaches.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-24436622166125772582011-03-24T17:40:31.587-07:002011-03-24T17:40:31.587-07:00As someone who was bullied; it doesn't stop un...As someone who was bullied; it doesn't stop until you fight back. Once they get hurt even a tiny bit they depart for easier prey.<br /><br />All I needed was for the school to not impose draconian punishments on ME for defending myself.<br /><br />Getting the same punishment as my bully for fighting back was a strong lesson about trusting the government to do justice.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-26707280699910016952011-03-24T15:39:31.313-07:002011-03-24T15:39:31.313-07:00Bullying has indeed gone on for as long as I can r...Bullying has indeed gone on for as long as I can remember...<br /><br />In my school days teachers were actually teachers and they got INVOLVED too...<br /><br />I remember this one kid, he was short, fat, had a crossed eye and got picked on all the time, then, one day, he had enough and he stood up and punched one of his detractors in the nose, breaking it and causing a bloody mess.<br /><br />He then turned to his detractors buddies and asked them "OK, who's next?"<br /><br />He never got messed with again, and after he shot up to 6'1" and about 195 pounds, he made a vow to himself, he vowed that he would never BE a bully nor tolerate one... <br /><br />Oh, and there were 2 or 3 teachers that witnessed his transformation, and he didn't get disciplined, the police weren't called and life went on, in a much better fashion too...TexasFredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412925337032937983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-83347143076123881312011-03-24T14:36:03.002-07:002011-03-24T14:36:03.002-07:00Any wonder why so many parents have selected priva...Any wonder why so many parents have selected private education, home schooling and the up and coming Internet high schools for their kids?<br /><br />Public education is in meltdown and in its current form is nothing more than a government version of bullying and brain washing designed to create a generation of "Good Little Americans" who goose step for the greater glory of the socialist ruling class.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.com
