all of these stories make you wonder where the so-called authorities were.
I was little in school and bigger lads usually threw their weight around but I never hesitated to go to the school principal and get the fucking geebags expelled.

Does that make me a snitch?

Do you think I care?

Fucking pricks.

I'm probably paying most of their doles, mind you.

Trouble is
For every school like yours with a decent anti bullying policy, there's ten that just like to pretend that it doesn't happen so the school looks good to perspective parents. Then you get to add snitch and grass to the various greivences the entire class holds against you.

to be honest, the level of bullying, at least in the media has increased tenfold in recent years -
I may be showing my age but the principal of my schools' 'bullying policy' was to beat seven shades of shite out of the bullies, at least in little school.

In big school, they were expelled, full stop - never come back again.

You want to attract prospective good students? - Tell them that.

Yep.
It'd do wonders for all areas of schooling, not just bullying if headmasters where allowed to actualy expell kids. At the moment it's very hard to get a kid chucked out unless they actualy stab someone or set fire to the school. And even then.....

that's fucked
Talk about teaching them impunity for their actions...

It's exactly this kind of measure keeps the prison system full, wouldnt you say?

I don't know about the prison system as such,
But yes, it certainly doesn't help that we're raising kids in an enviroment where there's no concrete consequences for their actions. It seriously isn't doing them any good. It must come as quite a shock when they hit the real world.
