Following up on the previous post, I wonder how it is that it seems that our nation's rights appear to protect the bullies of our schools moreso than our victims.
I'm no legal expert nor am I versed in our education system's guidelines and policies, but far to often it appears that we have to capture the attention of our local or regional or national media in order to bring to light the Swiss-cheese like holes in our education system's administration of policy where bullying is concerned. Why must this extreme recognition take place before decisive action by those who we trust with our children's well being on a daily basis? That question is a entirely different blog post altogether...
Today, I want to know why is it more often than not that it's the victims who are being pulled away from our public system and taking on the non-traditional home school programs? Shouldn't the ones who are bullying be the ones who should be removed from schools since it's their negative behavior that is causing the problem? If there are any legal-eagles and policy-makers among those of you reading this blog, please - comment and help clear the fog!
In November, I posted about that New Jersey recently passed our nation's toughest anti-bullying legislation. I don't know about you, but I'm interested in seeing exactly how effective it will be when it comes to implementing it.
