Send them to Catholic school, private school or homeschool them. Don’t let them go to public school. That’s like throwing them to the wolves in most places now.
It depends on the public schools. Here in the Appalachian hills, we don’t have these problems.
I’m planning on Catholic school here.
We did send my son to a Catholic High School back in 1990. He was bullied unmercifully. It became a form of school terrorism against him. It was a certain group of boys with one ringleader. We went to the principal, and all these boys got was some sort of slap on the wrist. No suspensions, no expulsions. In fact, the principal insinuated that my son must be doing something to make these guys want to bully him! we were outraged. When nothing was finally done, my husband had had enough.
One day these students were waiting for my son to ambush him, to beat him up. Thankfully, my son defended himself and got the better of them. At that point, when the principal just gave these boys a 3 day suspension, my husband took matters into his own hands. He called the local police, and swore out a complaint against the ringleader. The police went to the school and arrested the boy (I think they called his parents first, but arrested he was). And then we pulled my son out of this school and put him into a Baptist school near our house even though we were Catholic.
But one day, shortly after the arrest, my son was out walking in our neighborhood, which is a very nice neighborhood, and he came home with a swollen jaw. He heard someone call his name, and he stopped to see who it was. There was a carload of young boys, and one of them got out and punched my son in the face. Thankfully, they didn’t all get out and beat him to a pulp. But we knew who it was even though we couldn’t prove it.
“Send them to Catholic school”
Just be prepared to shell out big bucks to do so. My daughter is a HS freshman it costs close to 10k a year to send her there. It ain’t cheap. Mind you I’m not complaining. I would eat wood before I’d send my kids to a public school.
