Bullying continues even with Aldine's so-called policy. Faculty does nothing to prevent or intervene when black and hispanic students bully minority white students on campus. Doctor's appointment absence appear to be non-excusable as students are not allowed to turn in homework or make-up work. Students who struggle with subjects are not given assistance as per Aldines policy. And this is supposed to be a exceptional school?
