Should the School Contact the Bully's Parents?
The school should first try to settle the matter
since it occurred on their grounds while the
children were their responsibility. But,
unfortunately there are some schools who don't want
to get involved outside of teaching the children.
Many parents have written to me about
school's/administrators who simply disregarded
their bully incidents. Many parents are now seeking
legal action.
On the other side - there are teachers/schools
who contact the parents to address the problem, but
the parents are in denial that their child could
ever be a "bully," they don't believe it, and point
a finger at the teacher accusing him/her of picking
on their child. Everyone needs to work together on
solving these problems.
