5. My friend's daughter just left a charter because she was bullied
Sun Oct 7, 2012, 11:31 AM
Oct 2012

She had never been bullied before. Her parents went to the teacher who didn't know what to do. They found out later she was a first year TFA with a degree in Art History and an understandable lack of knowledge of child psychology - in addition to her lack of experience. They then went to the principal who said he believed kids should be allowed to work out their differences with as little adult interference as possible.

When the bullies began using Facebook (the school page) to continue their bullying, my friend withdrew her daughter and enrolled her in her neighborhood traditional public school.
