How do you stand up against the school when they want to change your bullied child`s life and the bullier gets nothing but lunch det. I just had a meeting @ my school their was 5 against me, yeah my son should control is anger, but if he was not pushed everyday to the limit by the "cool" kids he would not freak out. He comes home tells me that he told on the kids but NO ONE wants to help him. I stand up for him and the school says it`s him cause he is the one who got loud, well they need to pay attenton to the quiet ones who start it, and not single out the one who is standing up for themselves.... How do we as parents stand our ground with the school?? Calling the superintended didnt work. It took 7 month to get a meeting with him and now he wont call me back with the info i ask for, a week ago.... Sick of the school and the bullies in it that includes teachers and administration..
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz? – ok, is congress allowed to do drugs? They can do everything else that we can't. Learn to say something that the "party" didn't tell you to say.
Joyce .. the left is name calling again. I thought you were the party of peace and love? Oh, only when everything goes your way. Congress is a puppet show, they have us all watching their left hand, while the right hand spends 15Trillion, robs social security and you really believe they give a crap about you. I'm a conservative and I'm smart enough to realize that both parties have gotten us here and I don't trust they are smart or honest enough to fix it. So what do you do with a 15Trillion $$$ debt?
Soledad, now Rodney King. You keep bringing up racial issues, but I've yet to see one where it was a white person on the receiving end? Are you a "racist"?
I appreciate the segment on bullying. But as an educator myself, why is the emphasis almost always on removing the victim, and never on the bully. The bully gets rewarded by staying with his/her group of friends and maintaining the same "life" if you will, while the victim has his/her life disrupted even more. There is new research coming out that highlights the role of peers and social group as a primary motivator for the emotional need for bullys to continue to engage in such behavior. We need to focus more on the bully and the antecedents for incivility and bullying, and less on the victim.
Hey Soledad, if you're going to continue to bring up Ted Nugent why not ask the question whether Mitt Romney still wants Nugents support after Nugent was charged with illegally killing a bear in Michigan for his hunting show. I would really like this to go public nationally because I suspect Mr. Nugent will get off with a slap on the wrist for his crime. The punishment for an average citizen would be banning the hunter from getting a hunting license for at least 2 years and the DNR would confiscate all of the accused hunting weapons.
I trust Obama will win the election....hands down. Romney is not a suitable candidate...Americans are tired of the personal and political jabs...do people even truly believe that the middle class and lower class will be protected from taxation if Romney is in office? Romney, to me, does not appear to be empathic with the plight of everyday Americans. The Buffett rule shoud have passed, because rich people became rich due to the work of lower and middle class people. P.S we all know that Nugent us an idiot...not DWS!
is not us...typo
