You try to ignore it but the pain is horrendous and you can't. She was in an authority position so she should've disciplined them but if you've never been in that position, being bullied and having to hear things like that in front of a lot of people, there's no way to understand what happens to yourself. Watching this brought back way too many harsh memories and the sad thing is that bullying doesn't stop when you get older! No matter how successful you become, those feelings and memories don't go away.

I think it's awesome that someone felt compelled to raise that money for her. Now she can retire and go pamper herself somewhere! It'll feel good for a little while, but the hurt will still be there.

FWIW, yes I have been in the EXACT same position, not that that's any of anyone's business.

But at any rate - that has nothing to do with the fact that she is a grown woman and an employee paid for with tax dollars who isn't doing her job - whether that is her personal failing or the school preventing her from doing so, the tax dollars are still going down the toilet. Saying that doesn't mean you're excusing the kids who did this in any way.

I like the Madea suggestion. Another one I read was Henry Rollins. Any little brat who would talk back to him just flat out has a death wish.

I think it depends on what her job description is. I had a friend who was a bus monitor for a year while trying to find a teaching job. Basically her job was to watch for and report illegal acts and to help get the kids off the bus in case of an accident or other emergency.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. But no one seems to have a concrete answer.
