The rights of non Bullying students are being compromised for those of the Bully! When 1 or 2 jerks taint the entire mix without any chance to end it, that is a travesty. Maybe its time to change the laws, make the Parents of the POS and the bully responsible for their education and the cost of a private one.
I don't care what it takes, its got to end. I was attacked 100+ times in 3 years, the cops were never called once, why? If they did the same in the Mall, they would be in hand cuffs heading towards the Police Station. Teachers, Principles and others are neither Law Enforcement or Courts personnel, why are they allowed to act like them? Those Bullies that graduated got the same Diploma as mine yet they cost the rest of the school large parts of a quality education, huge money and the victims lots of nightmares.
Kids are dying, killing each other and non participants are very involved and effected by the attacks. Its not so hard to stop it, we just need to focus on that and stop worrying about field trips, I Books, Twitting and Bookfacing for a moment.
I dont know if the Cooperstown thing was motivated by bullying, its not beyond the pale of imagination, stranger and more horrible things have happened before when we ignore the obvious. When Bullies are allowed to function unchecked in the public arena, innocent people will get hurt. We understand that the Bully is causing pain but the Victim can also become the offender when given few or no choices otherwise.
Vigilantes are often born out of a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness and often punished for their misunderstood acts of self defense. Acts that if considered by themselves may seem as bad or worse than those of the bully. While Teens may not have the advanced social skills needed to work through these things, they get pointers from fellow victims, Video games, Violent Movies and other influences and sometimes act on them.
There were times when I would have rather have died than get on that school bus. That was way too close to putting me over the edge and either killing myself or taking out a bunch of the "Others". I had guns but that would never have been my weapon of choice, a gallon of gas and a Zippo would have been very dangerous in my hands at the wrong moment. I had Columbine thoughts before there was a Columbine massacre. It could have been my name in the criminal history books like those two if pushed just one more inch!
If the truth be known, I haven't a clue why and how I maintained my own self control through that shit. My Mother was in denial, The Teachers were either beating me or allowing others to do it and my peers either participated or at least spectated as my nose got bloodied, my face bruised and my pride crushed like cheap grapes. What do you do when your a young stupid teenager that is scared of his own shadow? I know what I did, hang out with others just like me, Get Drunk and Stoned daily, get out of Madison, marginally pass High School, Fail out of Morrisville College and Luckily find the balls to Join the Army and become a Man!
I hear about the Nuns in Catholic School being tough, they ain't got nothin on little Madison Central.
In the 70's, my best friend and I got whacked around by the Social Studies teacher (Mr/ Coach Ford) on many occasions. After one particularly painful public beating, his parents came into the school looking for blood! Dad with his Pistol (just came out of the woods from hunting) and Mom with her fists. He kept his Pistol in the Holster but his Mom Smacked the Principle and the Prick Teacher and proclaimed that if another teacher in that school ever hit her son again, a fist in the face was going to be the least of their problems! The entire school heard that exchange and Mr Ford became a little less hands on from that point on with my buddy! Thats what it took to stop the crap from this Adult Bully but it didnt last, he left for VVS a Year after I did.
I should have sued the pants off Madison Central as soon as I realized the seriousness of the crimes they perpetrated against me and others but its too late now! I'm calling out your names in public because you turned your backs on those of us that you were paid taxpayers Dollars to teach and protect and for no reasons other than laziness and I can't imagine why otherwise.
Mr Fleckenstein, Mrs Plumbley, Mr Frink, Mrs Franks, Mrs Pierce, Mr Ford, Mrs. Uhlig, Coach Tenhope, Mr Falls, Mr Baltuznick, Mrs Harrigan, Mr Reese and even one of my early Science Mentors, Mr Saulsgiver (there were more, these are the ones that stick in my head after 40 years). Sadly enough, I truly likes a few of those Teachers, Mr Frink (Doc), Mrs Franks, Mr Saulsgiver and Mr Baltuznick (Billy Balls) were good people and great Teachers for the most part, they just closed their eyes way too often.
I sure hope my absolutely verifiable accusations don't tarnish your spotless friggin careers! If they have any problems with what I'm saying, by all means, respond, retort, get a lawyer or come looking for me; I didn't go far, I live 5 miles from that mortuary they call a school! I'm sure I can jog their memories if they have somehow forgotten what they did and didn't do in the name of a Free Public Education.
Some of them are dead (Ces't La Vie!), most of them retired while at least one still Teaches there. All are criminals in their own rights because they allowed the continuing victimization of an entire School System by a few chosen special kids and rotten Teachers.
I haven't entered that prison in 33 years but its effects stayed with me for a lifetime.
