The schools do this all of the time.
They will not confront bullies or the parents of bullies.
When my now adult daughter was in the 3rd grade, three 6th grade boys decided to beat her up every few weeks as she walked home from school. We went to the school officials and they said they could do nothing because it wasn’t on school property.
We spoke to the parents who each said that they angel would never do this.
We enrolled her (age 8 then) in an evening self defense class for women. After 6 weeks of lessons from a Karate Grand Master she was again attacked by the same three 6th grade boys. The next day we were summoned to the school to explain ourselves because she’d broken the index finger on one boy, knocked out 4 front teeth from the second and broken the nose of the third. She also ripped her jacket.
The school told us we were terrible parents and had no right to teach a child such dangerous skills. My wife’s comment was, “Sue us.”
heheheheeeee...
Was the jacket ripped too badly? Or did you have to get a new one?
Dude, if my Dad had been you he’d have thrown that principal, man or woman through the door without opening it. I mean it. My old man took no sh!t from anybody and he had a special dislike for imperious school officals.
