Agree.
I hope the mom can get her son to look at it as a worthwhile vacation. Having the suspension on his record is perpetuating the abuse the student has received.
OTOH - I remember giving a neighborhood bully a beatdown. The entire dynamic changed once snot-nosed punk got consequences. Said punk was used to taunting and attacking everyone. And everyone would just back away and try to avoid conflict.
Having grown up with a few brothers one gets used to being in tussles. That can be good preparation for mano a mano confrontations.
You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? Unfortunately if they went to the newspaper there would be the same ilk like yourself who would blame the victim. Secondly, the school district has deep taxpayer pockets. I guess you must have unlimited income, good for yo.
Been there, done that, I won. And I didn't have "deep pockets".
You might want to be careful about thinking you know what others have experienced.
NO YOU might want to STOP blaming the parents of the VICTIM. Not everyone may have the resources you do!How about YOU blame the bully and the administration that is NOT doing their job!
You're making assumptions again. My hubby was out of work and our "resources' were welfare and food stamps.
How about YOU blame the bully and the administration that is NOT doing their job!
Protecting my kids was/is my job and no one elses. And I never said the bully wasn't at fault. I said there was more the parents could have done sooner. Get a grip and quit thinking that you know everything about everyone.
I got a week's suspension. Nothing happened to the bully. But all was good at home.
I did get worked over pretty good by the bully's gang shortly after that but I still think I did the right thing. That particular kid never hassled me in class again.
Whatr no one has addressed here is that old folks beyond fighting physically for themselves are often subject to continual elder neglect and abuse for objecting to the msuse of their self respect and emotional state. And don’t know what to do about it.
I had a similar story.
For me, it took one punch.
One punch. In the mouth. A mouth full of braces. I cut my knuckles on his braces, through his lips. There was a copious amount of blood. His white dress shirt showed it off really well.
All of this in front of a elementary school graduation assembly full of parents.
It was glorious.
The real question is why this mother would consent to her daughter being exposed to such a horrible place as this school. If they are this wrong on the bullying issue, chances are they are wrong and “woke” on everything else. Removing her daughter from this indoctrination center decreases the odds that her daughter will end up a communist lesbian.
YOU were the one who said the parents were not doing enough. I defended them, you didn’t.
The boy is better off OUT of public school.
Nice thinking
The second punch thrown makes you the loser. If you make the decision that you are being bullied. Set him up for first blow. In the real world, waiting to be hit first can get you badly hurt. I was not even 5’ tall until I was 15. Imagine being picked on in grade school. I was the same size as my 3 years younger brother. My dad said, if you can’t put a hurt on a bigger boy, use a stick. I never could imagine hurting someone on purpose. I fought, and got my butt handed to me until my senior year, when I grew to 5’ 7” and 160 lbs and wrestled guys in the 150 range. I learned how to grab, grasp and throw. No need to punch when you can pickem up and drop them rudely. Junior year I wrestled at 102 lbs soaking wet. People were surprised.
100% correct. If you are going to take down a bully, you must throw the first punch. That is the only way. Bullies don't expect receiving the first punch as for them, it is always the other way around.
Not what I said.
Post 59:I can think of 2 things they could have done, go to the local paper, get a lawyer. Suing a school district is lucrative. The parents let the lefties bully them.
I defended them, you didn’t.
My last post to you as you are taking this waaaay too personally. Why do you think they need defending? I simply suggested things they could have done and there are a load more. Some people are passive....and some aren't.
As I said, you are taking my suggestions waaay too personally. Bye.
Exactly and now he has some street cred.
