Schools have absolutely no idea how to deal with bullies.
It's been a major focus -- they talk about this stuff all the time. They've put a lot of thought into it.
They've called in experts across the nation, and really tried to get a handle on this "bully" thing.
Schools have been seeking an answer for well over a hundred years.

And schools have absolutely no idea how to deal with bullies.

In that respect, it's kind of like teaching math, English, or history. They don't know how to do those things either.

Bullies and bad academics may have been a problem in the past, but it was LESS of a problem when the spirit of the school brought God into it, and was less indulgent of general misbehavior.

Public schools have become evil arms of the evil state that is the faux paux federal govmt.

From kindergarten, I knew how to deal with bullies, you beat them down. I spent most of my school years looking after the smaller kids outside and in the school. I don’t know why, my parents would often be furious with me for not walking away from a fight, but I couldn’t stand to watch someone being picked on or beat up.

I learned one thing from all that though. Bullies understand one thing... pain. You deliver pain, they change their tune quick, even to the point of becoming friends.

Old saying in the army... there’s no problem you can’t solve with excessive force... lol. I don’t actually believe that, I’m a Christian. However, Jesus says to love your neighbor as yourself, and if your neighbor is being pounded into the ground, I believe I have the moral obligation to intervene. It’s the right thing to do.

The stories coming out of schools these days is horrifying. I have three small kids and it looks like I need to find a homeschooling network of some kind or at the very least a private Christian school. My ex wife may try to stop me, but there is too much on the line to give up on this.
