Reply #12: Schools need to change policies [View All]

[REP]

As I said in another post, some (if not many) schools have policies of never saying a child's behavior is wrong; only asking the child if better choices could be made as well as treating all children exactly the same, bullies and victims alike. If a teacher doesn't see the bullying, they have only the victim's (and others) reports and often can do nothing with those other than suggest the bully try other ways to communicate ... which is ineffective. They really should be separated from the class and put in a behavior disorder SpEd, but there's no funds for GATE, let alone regular classes.
