So when you stick up for yourself you are being a pansy, but when you roll over and take it you are being...brave? I suppose the nasty piece of work that gave him this award is brave for mocking an 8 year old?

Just goes to show you that the school indoctrinated mentality if siding with the bully hasn't left some people. Side with the people in power ignoring right from wrong.

Did I say that? How did you reach this conclusion?

Did you even read the quotation I referenced?

The teachers were wrong and their "awards" were inappropriate. But rather than focus on the matter at hand, the PARENTS are MAKING their child into a VICTIM. They could be guiding him through this and deflecting the sting but they would rather contact the local media to make a big deal out of this, and a brief moment of embarrassment is turning into a major event in the child's life.

We do nothing for our children if we cannot teach them which battles are worth fighting, and which are inconsequential to our daily lives.
