Not really. Or at least if you aren't from the angle that this is a top priority. Schools aren't babysitters. |
Yes, really. While kids are at school, the school is
in loco parentis -- in place of the parents, meaning the school takes on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent while the student is at school. That in no way relieves the actual parents of primary responsibility, including the responsibility to do something if they believe the school is not being responsive to concerns about bullying. But I think the school definitely has the responsibility to provide a safe learning environment, which includes a learning environment as free as possible from bullying.
