Back in Junior High my son was getting bullied. We told him to tell the teacher. The teacher called in the mom and dad. The dad told her “His mom deals with that crap, I’m busy.” (Some big-wig executive). The teacher told the dad that if he wasn’t at the meeting the boy would be suspended automatically. Dad made it.
The teacher spent a lot of time with the bully and the family, making them get family therapy, etc. (The bully had personal and family issues).
He and my son later became good friends.
That’s a responsible educator. Good things worked out.
Best we progress to an education system that answers to minimal govt standards and security measures, but is operated independently of the govt.
If we can have prison reform, we can certainly have education reform.
