Every boy in my 6th grade class was called to the principals office for picking on (bullying) a kid. Kids are mean always have been always will be, I’d bet almost all kids that attend school public & private have been bullied at some point.
Well, it's "not me" syndrome. You're not going to care until it directly impacts you. Unless you have a loved one that has experienced the effects of bullying, why should you care...since the dawn of time kids have bullied and they always will. I have a sister that is missing a couple of vertebrae in her neck, exposing her spine (under the skin). Some girl in middle school decided she didn't want her sitting next to her on the bleachers before school and pushed her down to the bottom. That would have been some shite right there if that would have paralyzed my sister. Lucky it didn't.

I experienced bullying my son has as well. Why can some kids deal with it and others can’t?

So an adult made an effort to stop the bullying? Kids ignored the warning? Not surprised.

Youre an idiot if you think they actually stuck that Eiffel Tower up the kids rectum and that there was a presentation on this featuring a video of the sexual assault.
No telling what video might be out there but no way they showed one in a class and if (I stress if) then the teacher should never teach again.
I played high school football and I’ve seen some hazing so anything is possible my opinion if anything happened with it he probably had clothes on and didn’t actually go up into him but then again I wasn’t there I just be know some of the things I’ve seen and how stupid, cruel, idiotic, and demeaning boys/teens can be to each other. Peer pressure is hard to some people.

But you don't know if that happened, or when it happened because it just an allegation at the moment.
Just wait for the facts to come out. If they fricked up they will pay for it.

So you really don’t know. Maybe the coach made the kids run extra laps in practice for bullying Paul and thought it would stop it.

All kids screw up and mistreat others…

Well back in the day a kid could defend himself from bullying but with the zero tolerance policy that most school districts have now it’s not possible .

I disagree. Some kids, do and some kids are allowed to do so in a culture that allows that.
But you seem to think kids who humiliate should get a pass because it's a tale as old as time...a right of passage of being a kid...some times you are the windshield and some times you're the bug. suck it up, buttercup. That running extra laps is penalty enough for demeaning another person.
I like to think we can teach kids to be decent humans, but not if they don't experience consequences for their bad behaviors.
I'm not talking cancel culture. I'm talking nipping things in the bud before one of these kids decides that this thrill isn't quite enough and goes on to worse violent behaviors or before the victim thinks this last time was enough living for him. You don't know which victim will do this, but you seem ok with rolling the dice on it.
If you're willing to say that bullying is just part of life, then I won't begrudge you for that. You do you.

I think the lines are hard to draw but overall there's a difference between horse playing, teasing, and bullying. Saying or doing something to a friend or light hearted joking with young new kids to the varsity football team is one thing. Making someone's life miserable is bullying. That's on another level.
To an extent joking and horse playing can teach you how to read a room or understand how to talk to different people in a joking manner. I mean, at work me telling my co-worker who is as goofy as me to suck my dick and then kill himself is different than me telling a gay co-worker who I know has depression to do the same. You kind of learn how to navigate that through goofing off in school at a young age.
But being a complete dick and making someone dread going to school and completely taking away their self esteem is just being a pathetic human being. Bullies can't read the room or understand situations, they just suck as people. Saying that, I've known bullies in HS who grew out of it and became good people.
ETA: Now is it wrong for me to tell my coworker who is as goofy and retarded as I am to suck my dick and kill himself? No, he/ or they, tell me much worse and if ya'll knew them ya'll would tell them the same
ETA 2: There are many people who don't have to be like me and can be great people and not tease, yet know how to read a room and navigate their way through different situations. I've already stated I am goofy and retarded.

I agree, you can add home life to some of those. Many are combinations of home and school. I’m not gonna disagree that some are from kids with decent home life but got bullied at school.

The initial assumption about Columbine was that Harris and Klebold had been bullied, but there was little to no evidence of that, and more evidence that they had done some bullying. Harris seemed to have some psychopathic tendencies and Klebold was horribly depressed. Together they created a synergy that was greater than either of them. If they had never found each other neither of them may have ever done anything noticeable.
The Sandy Hook kid just had some severe mental issues and parents who made the worst possible choices about how to deal with them.

Irrelevant information but just thought I'd share. Those that went to CC can correct me if I'm wrong. I said other day we know one current teacher there and also a former teacher. I had no idea they ever taught there until wife told me after all this came up. I asked the former one about teachers and school covering it up, if that's a possibility. Her response was many of the teachers CC hires are old retired teachers from other schools or young and upcoming millennial teachers who may not even be from La trying to further their education and are still in school. They may not have the schooling yet to teach at a public school.
She seriously doubted anything like rape or sexual harrassment were covered up and stated most of those teachers even if they had no moral compass, aren't tied down to CC making 20k a year and ruining their own personal reputation for covering up something like rape or sexual assault. She doesn't know how back in the day was but said currently there is no dark deep line of secrets at CC, so much of the staff has no ties to Ruston or CC and have no benefits and get paid barely at minimum wage levels, or they are don't give a frick and nothing to lose retired teachers from Ruston High or wherever.
She did say however that if rape was to happen or long time sexual assaults it is possible very much w/o teachers knowing. It's a pvt school and when student population goes down they cut teachers. That's why they hire retired ones b/c they don't feel bad letting them go. You can walk all over campus there and not see a single adult. She stated even during school hours sometimes it feels like a ghost town and is opposite of public schools where there are adults all over the place. Her opinion is and the current (non HS teacher) has same opinion, that there was bullying, and the staff made a half arse attempt at stopping, not covering it up, but didn't do enough and it kept happening. She feels at worst there was a sexual assault and that was the last day when teachers ran in there and sent those boys home. Both have a hard time believing anything got covered up, especially rape or sexual assault.
Just some needless info. I don't ask the current one much of anything but the former one doesn't mind talking, she texts my wife about it out of the blue, and she is no longer a teacher anymore so she don't care.

So when I talk to my wife about it it's her husband read a post in a forum from a guy whose wife texts with a teacher who used to work at the school, and another teacher who teaches currently.

The current teacher we don’t ask any questions. She just has a hard time believing rape was covered up. The former teacher has nothing to do with teaching anymore. My wife did ask current one if she gonna be aight and that’s about it but they are kinda close friends and text all the time even before this. I just knew my wife had a friend who’s a teacher but didn’t know which school
To clarify anything both have been linked this thread. They are watching everything also. One of husbands is a poster here and they know my screen name.

i coached in great private schools for ten years and I can say from my own experience that well run privates treat the kids like customers and the parents as clients. So the concept of faculty ignoring bullying and abuse is pretty foreign to me.
Being neglectful is cancer to a school like CC because it is deadly for their rep and really bad for business

1. You don't have to be certified in the state of Louisiana to teach at CC, all public schools you do. Some teachers may be younger and working on their certificate but most I knew were middle aged normal "teachers".
quote:
the staff has no ties to Ruston or CC
2. False - most of the people who work there or teach have been in the community a long time and know all of the parents from school/church/events/living in a small town etc etc
quote:
You can walk all over campus there and not see a single adult.
3. False - my son went there for a while and I walked around campus plenty for carnivals, sporting events, parents day and there's teachers/adults all over. The entire school is about 7-8 buildings over maybe 10 acres, it's small.
I'd guess they probably have 25-30 kids per grade K-12 so less around 400 kids and 30 + teachers plus staff. There's supposed to be a teacher and an aid in every class but it doesn't sound like the Spanish teacher had an aid.
Most of the kids come in K and go through the program until 12th grade so the teachers/admin people etc etc etc get to know the parents and know the kids well (this may be a factor in them letting shite slide). I the kid that got abused or didn't was inserted in one of these classes and was probably bullied by the pack that had been going to school together for 9-10 years.
I'm not saying if any of this happened or not just my observation from when my son attended the school for a short period
My son didn't have any problems fitting in when he was there.
