The teachers/staff are great in most cases, but they don't seem to do anything about bullying. It happens in the classroom, library etc. even with foul language. I know kids do things behind their parents back, but to let a child to continue to be bullied and to start feeling bad about them-self is unacceptable! I have yet to have anyone do anything about my child being bullied. My child will not attend this school next year! They need to educate these kids about bullying and how it makes kids feel and consequences of constantly making someone feel bad. I am worried how this has affected my child. Where is the staff when this happens???
