I find it funny that most of you would be outraged if a coworker (perhaps well trained in martial arts) beat you and stole your lunch money, yet most believe this exact same behavior in a public school setting is “the norm” and quite acceptable.
Our son who is disabled was badly bullied in public school some years ago. When we complained the principal told us she was aware of the bullying and was not going to do anything about it. This decision cost tax payers in San Diego over a million dollars.
IMO public schools are a fraud and should be shut down.
