The principal at my son's Fort Worth independent school district 6th grade school told me she could not ensure his safety after he beat a thugs ass. That says everything you need to know about public schools. It was self defense. The more you know.
A few years ago, my nephew was targeted by a kid who went out of his way to bully him. This escalated until the kid threatened to bring a knife from home to stab him. The school's response was to try to move my nephew to a new class.
My sister had to throw a full on hissy fit in front of the principal for them to take her seriously. She asked why they thought it was appropriate to move her son and disrupt his schedule when he didn't do anything wrong. They hemmed and hawed and finally agreed to move the screwed up kid to another class. He then went on to target other kids and eventually was sent to a special school for troubled kids. But it took MONTHS for that to happen, and who knows what he did to the other kids. They were in 4th grade.
