Bullies getting away with it again, schools who have no care for their students and their wellbeing make me sick, they’d rather let it continue than having to do some proper work, *****.

Good for her :clap1:
|
Just another case of a school being more protective of their image then of their students. Most schools refuse to acknowledge problems with bullying, it's always been the case.
|
It shouldn't get to the point that a parent has to do this. From my experience, schools are really really crap at dealing with bullies like.

I was being bullied for years and it became physical, such as spitting in my hair, pulling my hair and shoving me. My mum had been in the school so many times and the most they did was put one girl on report for a week so one girl threw pencil shavings on me and I lost it and had a fight with her and I was suspended. Schools dont care unless you make it public. |

It's ridiculous ,and good on that mother for trying to protect her child,the schools should have proper anti bullying rules and follow them,most of them are just useless,a parents instinct is to protect your child and I'de have laid into them, Im sure that red mist would have got me.

It's sickening how badly some schools/teachers deal with bullying. |
Awful that it got to this for her and her son. Too many schools say they have a zero tolerance policy on bullying but tend to sweep it under the carpet.

...I don’t know what action was being taken by the school for any bullying and although I completely feel for the frustrations of the parent...I pretty much agree with this...
“Maybe in her mind she was going there to confront a bully or a couple of children, but in not knowing who those were and choosing to yell at dozens of innocent kids, there is nothing appropriate about yelling at other people’s children’s in a school setting after you’ve snuck in illegally,” Beth Brotherton, director of communications for the Greenville school district where the incident happened, told Fox 32. ...she didn’t just ‘confront’ the bullies...but she ‘confronted’ innocents too who were 9yrs old and who at the moment of her outburst with whatever she said..?...had until then felt safe and secure in their school environment...her moment of frustration has jeopardised and damaged that for so many children who were not a part of any bullying behaviour...there’s a wrong way and there’s a wrong way...and this for me is undoubtedly the wrong way... ...I do hope the issues for her child are addressed immediately though...:sad:.. |

having that mother arrested really makes the school's principal and staff come over as homophobic bullies too in a way, for not doing anything about the real bad people here |
Yeah, just screaming at random kids is not the answer I guess
I think I would take it out on the teachers that are doing nothing to help, rather than shouting at kids when you don't even know which kids it was seemingly. But I get why she snapped. One of the stepkids was bullied in primary school too, was coming in with loads of bruises, teachers were not interested at all. Until Gavin went in and told the headteacher that from that day, whenever his son came in with a bruises he would go in and give the headteacher one in the same place. Oddly enough, the teachers got their arses into gear and the kids were sorted and not a bruise until he left that school. So they CAN do it if properly motivated, which should not take threats as they should care and do as much as possible to start with I was sure he was going to be arrested for that actually, but I again got where he was coming from as he had tried formal meetings, speaking to the parents of the kids involved and such for months and months and nothing changed. He cannot really do this angle with current bullying though, absolutely no way he would get away with it these days. And he accepts it was wrong, but also stands by it as it stopped his kid being hurt and nothing else was working so :shrug: |
A fully grown adult confronting primary school children aggressively is never going to be the right move :facepalm:. You talk to the school. If that doesn't work, you talk directly to the involved children's parents (we have had to do this). If that doesn't work you inform those parents that you'll involve the police - which usually puts a rocket up their arse - and if they're still not interested then that's exactly what you do, because at the end of the day, it's still harassment and assault whether it's children or not.

..on a positive ...her actions have highlighted another huge issue with the school which needs to be addressed immediately..that an intruder was able to gain such close proximity to a classroom full of children..that intruder could have been armed...
|
I'm a bit concerned about her being able to saunter angrily into a US school. .

That said; she's a parent of a child at the school so if the staff are aware of that and she's said she's there to see or collect her child, there's every chance they would let her in on that basis? |

...Obviously we don’t know every detail..:laugh:...but I’m going to assume she wasn’t buzzed in and allowed into the classroom during lesson time is one thing but also because of how the incident was described...which was that she ‘snuck in illegally..’...and then when she was in she was able to gain access to the classroom...which she obviously would know where it was I presume from any previous visits... “Maybe in her mind she was going there to confront a bully or a couple of children, but in not knowing who those were and choosing to yell at dozens of innocent kids, there is nothing appropriate about yelling at other people’s children’s in a school setting after you’ve snuck in illegally,” ...hmmmm all I can say is that even through she was a parent...?...I would expect ‘an unexpected parent’ during a school day not to be allowed directly to a classroom...especially if they seemed agitated in any way...but even if she had hidden that completely...?...I would still expect security procedures to be in place and her not be allowed into a class in session without a specific agreement for some reason... |
