Just before Christmas my friend's 7yr old was kicking kindergarteners at school. She was hoofing them over and over while they laid on the ground curled into the fetal position. There were 8-10 incidents within a 2-3 week period. Then, one day she kicked her (female) teacher in the crotch. Kicked her so hard the teacher needed 3 days off to recuperate. When I asked mom what the school was going to do, Mom shrugged and said "I don't know. Learn to stop bugging her when she's in a mood?" My mouth dropped and I haven't asked again. I don't want to know if she's still doing it but she's never been suspended or expelled. The kid's parents' parenting motto is "It's not worth the fight" They say that for everything. Nothing is ever worth the fight with their kid.
As the parent of any of those kids who were getting hurt, why were they not creating a stink!!?? It is bad enough when the teachers don't see it. When they do it needs to be stopped!
