Well, they didn't do very much when I was in elementary school. I remember watching quite a few schoolyard fights. I doubt that happens much anymore.

When I was in school they called your parents right away. Now parents don’t seem to care what their little darlings do & it is never their fault anyway. I believe if my child is hit, he/she has the right to defend themselves. And had one of my sons been on that bus that girl would have had some protection. They were taught to help people who are unable to protect themselves. Now I home school & don’t worry about these things.
