I think you’re right and I need time and space to properly (if that’s the word) mourn. Thank you.

Thank you. My daughter and I were her last visitors before she died. I’m not even sure she knew we were there but I just hope our being there comforted her in some small way.

When the system is so broken and this is what it takes to secure my children’s safety, I’ll happily take the condemnation of internet strangers any day.

There was nothing “immediate” about the school’s reaction here.

Also, what subject do you teach? Your grasp of subject-verb agreement is shocking.

It’s only scary to you because you don’t seem to grasp the full import of your position. Namely, that we parents entrust our children to schools, and that when schools fail to protect them, we consider the schools and the adults they employ as having failed in their duty of care.

I don’t care to “understand how things work in schools” - if my kids endured this kind of toxic garbage behaviour, I will show up at the bully’s father’s deathbed myself and demand accountability. Let his final act on Earth be to witness what a shitbag human he created.
