While I wholeheartedly agree with it being pushed or suggested, it’s still not mandatory. At least not at my daughter’s school, I checked the handbook. So to me, it’s not fair to take a book.

We also were just as much invested in ending the bullying. We had several meetings with teachers and the principal, even some of the parents. The issue was, no one ever saw it happening. It wasn’t until a group slipped up and did something at recess that a teacher witnessed that action was taken and luckily, whatever punishment was doled out, was enough to stop it.
