She told about how she was picked on in public schools and her parents pulled her and began home schooling. Then they found out about this school and sent her for the last 2 years, she said she never felt like a more normal kid in her life and her fondest memories were from the last 2 years where she was accepted as an equal.
Try that in a public school.
There is a boy this year with polio, he walks with braces on both legs and is really tiny. Imagine how he would be treated in public school? He is in 5th grade.
20+ years ago I watched kids with mental and physical handicaps get picked on relentlessly. Try to interfere and your the next target, you just keep your head down and try to blend in. If your a star on the Football team you basically got a pass to torment all you want. I saw this all the time.
Like I said I am surprised there are not more shootings every day especially with this whole emo thing going on. Way more so than when I was a teen.
Like I said before give teachers guns and the first bullet from the student goes their way.

This is how it was in my prep school. Pick on a kid and you were gone, no refund to the parents. We had a 500 acre campus with NO security AND even had a skeet team with the guns and ammo kept in a storage shed. Believe me, smart rich kids on a huge campus with no security could cause a LOT of trouble. But it never happened. Closest call there ever was, some kid was in front of the disciplinary committee for some minor infraction. Something he said to a teacher at the hearing was interpreted as a veiled threat. He was gone immediately. They didn't even let him pack up his room. Called a cab for him, called his parents, sent him to a hotel and mailed his stuff home.
