Keltic??!?! You are a major part of the solution to this problem! I don't know why you take this personally when you have been an active part of the solution for years. If your school has the anti-bullying programs and teachers are intervening, then so is your school. No one is beating up on teachers and schools who ARE addressing the problem, and no one is saying they have ALL the blame! Parents are a MAJOR part of the problem, but yes, so are teachers and so are school districts.
I don't understand why you aren't feeling righteous anger towards those in your profession who turn a blind eye and deaf ear to these problems. There are MANY who do just that. THOSE are the teachers who need to start stepping up to their responsibility for kids, not the ones who ARE helping already.
As long as school districts are a part of the problem, I am going to say so. If yours doesn't need to change, Keltic, that's amazing. We need more like that, and that's the whole point.
