I do see bullies in his class however and it angers me that the parents of these kids turn a blind eye. Not so much physical bullies, but verbal abuse is very common. The schools in our area have a no bully pocilcy but it doesnt help at all. It has to be taught by the parents and they dont do that.  |
I have seen more stories about this than anything. Verbal abuse can be 1000x worse than physical and if your kid throws the first punch, then they are the ones booted from school.
