It's not very "PC" of you to notice that.

From her quotes, it seems she has a way to go in that regard. (But that does not mean she should be set on fire.)
I don't know, maybe we should start burning people at the stake for poor grammar.

Looks like that girl is going to own that school before this is over.
That and $2.18 will buy her a gallon of gasoline.

You are 100% correct. The people who should pay the price won't, while everyone else will. And prayers do go out for that young lady, she seems to be a strong person who strives beyond the cruelties of others. You expect it from other young children, but not from those adults who job and moral duty it is to protect her. As someone else posted, the adult administrators are behaving like children here.

That is simply false. It is not "common" at all schools. That is a ridiculous statement. It is not even common at all bad schools. Don't let ideology get in the way of fact.

I am in a masters of education program right now. Any hope you have for this educational system should be doused and you need to make alternative plans. ( home school) What they are teaching and the absolute ding bats that are in education ( yes I have to group myself in there) is frightening.
They believe in and teach something called. Socially created reality. That is what ever you believe has been created by your own social reality thus, relative. The truth is what ever you construct it to be.

That is simply false. It is not "common" at all schools. That is a ridiculous statement. It is not even common at all bad schools. Don't let ideology get in the way of fact. It is my experience, not my ideology, that draws me to this conclusion. Even if as you say it is not common, it certainly is not "false" that this goes on and adminstrators do nothing about it.
Are kids bullied while adminstrators and teachers do nothing about it? The answer is yes. Is it a rare instance? By my experience the answer is no. Does it take place at a majority of schools? I would say yes. At all schools? No.
To: BJungNan
Such things as this happen too often but this is way outside the pale of typical misbehavior.
Contrary to popular opinion schools are safer today than they have been in years. Extraordinary events such as this and Columbine distort the reality of public school experience.
I am hardly one to whitewash the situation living in Chicago home of one of the worst systems and even here this is hardly common.
