Bullying of this kind is, sadly, not unique to any school, town or city in the US. From the micro to the macro aspects of what is called "bullying" the pecking order dynamic must be addressed. Our schools cannot untrain a system that makes this phenomenon occur and schools cannot also then retrain it - by themselves. Adults bully each other online daily by the masses - verbal assaults by grown ups are the communication model that is seen daily by children with hours and hours of screen time. A 1:1 teacher student ratio is what would be required to stop bullying. Education and psycho-education of parents is what is needed too. Why? In this article, the one school named, has a nickname that could be making our grown up hearts ache. Bullying costs lives. In my work, in my book, and in my life - bullying is a theme for adults, couples, families, children - at home, at school, at work and online. ~Kurt LaRose
