Too bad you teachers do not give the name and address of the kid to someone who would do something about it. Oh, but wait, we need to protect the bully, right?

How sickened are you of my statement above? If you are even sickened a little bit, you are part of the problem.

She’s not a victim, her kid is. Her job is to protect her kid, so far she’s failing.

In America 2.0, Assaulting Whites is justice, but punishing minorities is racist.

You guessed right. And there is no point in court injunctions and no-approach orders at all. This is Public Schools. The problem is endemic. If parents actually care about their kids and not just about their own pride then they have already got their children out of the public Schools.

The girl is a big black girl who will grow up to be one of those bulky strong females who populate the airport brawls and diner brawls that seem to be a growing fad among the ghetto communities.

I’m not quite sure who that would be. We would name names in a reports to the counselors, the school administrators, the police, and the local magistrate. We would also tell parents exactly what was going on.

Nothing much was ever done. No, I take that back. Some of the old-time gym teachers would confront a bully in the locker room, and “counsel” him, if you get my drift.

I wish I could say that worked, but it usually didn’t. Today’s bullies often have criminal records. They aren’t much scared by teachers. Heck, one of my students shot and killed someone. Yet there he was in my class, wearing an ankle monitor.

> How sickened are you of my statement above? <

Not at all. Bullying is a monstrous thing. Every option to solve it must be explored.

“ She’s not a victim, her kid is. Her job is to protect her kid, so far she’s failing.”
***************************************************************

She’s actually working to protect her child and hold the responsible authorities to account. She’s not retreating and fleeing like some of the more weak minded and cowardly would do. I take it you place yourself in the cowardly surrender and flee crowd.

Continue on with your judgmental blaming the victim. I admire that woman for her fighting for her son and, by extension, all the other children in her community.

Sacrificing the kid to the public schools is so noble. No doubt she like others had a pile of junk to keep and a nice car. So the kids life is at stake. So what, moving would cost money, right, right?
If the kid dies, you can celebrate her resolve.

He would not stand a chance. How good are you at fighting someone who is taller and has about twice your body weight?

I used to get harassed and bullied by black thugs in high school. The faculty and cops were worse than useless when I asked for help.

It only ended when I stabbed one of them in the gut. And then nothing happened to me because everyone was more afraid of what would happen if it got on the news.

But I did get left alone after that.

I’m a veteran public school teacher.

Just curious - what kind of school? Urban? Suburban? Rural? Income/Minority status?

I meet people who teach Amish and farm-kids in rural PA, and others who are in the worst schools in Chicago. I love to hear their stories.

I hesitate to dump on the mom, because her options might be quite limited. And she is doing something. One step at a time, I guess.

But Varda, you do make a very good point. Sometimes you just gotta get out of Dodge. Nothing less will work. Let’s hope that the mom understands this.

As I noted elsewhere on this thread, I spent quite a bit of time as a public school teacher. And yes, I sometimes gave that advice to a worried parent. The administrators do not care to protect your child. And we teachers don’t have the ability. So it’s best to get your kid out of here.

Side note: Having the kid confront and fight the bully might have worked in 1960. But rarely now, at least in the urban schools where I taught. If the kid should win, he WILL be jumped by the bully’s gang in a stairwell, in a locker room, or on the way home. Guaranteed.

Urban schools are just hopeless.

Quick….FLEE! Otherwise you might have to stand your ground. I suspect that’s something you’ve NEVER DONE.

Again…. RUN… FLEE!

I was quite good at it actually. It only happened once. It was also the last fight I had. No one messed with me after that. The bully no longer bullied. You have to understand bullies are generally successful at bullying because no one fights back. They are scared pussies on the inside and have no idea what to do when someone fights back. If the kid can’t handle this on his own, then he should get someone or some people to beat the crap out of the bully. It’s that or live in fear. No one in charge wants to do anything about it so he has no other choice.

That works. You have an inalienable right to self defense. I assume you went back to your normally peaceful self afterwards.

girls mature faster than boys, and in my experience, I see a subset of black kids who physically mature faster than everyone else. Its most visible in extremes - as I see in our local regional high school football programs.

So take a 12-13 year-old black girl who is growing faster than her peers and a 10 year-old white boy who is slower than his peers, and the size difference will be absolutely huge.
