BMS is a great school that is feeling the pressures of tremendous population growth and change. Extracurricular programs are abundant--band, orchestra, clubs, intramural sports for anyone, organized team sports, junior honor society, etc. Special programs are in place to meet special needs, both academic and life skills. A small army of volunteers assist in many avenues, often behind the scenes. Parental gossip sometimes runs askew and ugly. The ptsa, administration, and staff are ready to familarize the community with the school. Contact with administration is easy via emails or by phone. The homework hotline is not perfect. Our new principal is very visible from morning arrival to dances to other events. The open-classroom structure of the school makes for a louder than ideal environment. None of the teachers are perfect, but life lessons can be learned even from occasional struggles. The 'no child left behind' policy has hindered spontanety and class

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
