Area teachers balk at proposed bullying bill . Fine the parents as well of those who bully.

Some thing more needs to be done about bullying in our schools.   Especially  in Evansville.   I do not think the problem lies so much with the teacher’s as it does with administration.  At the same time if teacher’s are doing their job and reporting bullying , what is the problem with this bill?

The other side of this is what about making the parents more responsible for their kids.  If more parents took bullying more seriously and talked to their kids about how important it is not to bully.  We might have a totally different atmosphere in our schools.

I do wonder if some parents know what bullying is?   I think some parents just look at as  ” kids being kids.”    Instead of looking at it as the bullying that it is.
