Bullying: I thank God that my son goes to school under Seth's Law.

Middle School, in Michigan during the mid-80's was the worst three years of my life. No matter how much I endured, administrators would do nothing. And, in 7th Grade, when I finally fought back, I was the one nearly suspended. Later, another mom told my mom that the school officials gave up on ever dealing with the other kid and just decided to take action against those who actually cared about doing well in school. Now, it's 2012 in California and we have Seth's Law which requires every public school to develop a plan to stop bullying when it starts. Hopefully, he will have a better experience than I did.
