It's exactly what I see here too. It's no fun for a child to be among such a collection of students. I will never understand why they can't do a better job although more than once a teacher shrugged his shoulder and said he couldn't change the situation and the parents are not different from the child.
Once it was so bad that I said: wanna bet I can change it but you won't be happy if I do it because if you don't act and anyone touches my child again I am here with a baseball bat and hit the crap out of that kid.
Apparantly, that helped because the school cleaned up. That wasn't a public but Christian school with a bunch of losers ruling. So I switched schools again. I believe my children have been at least at 4 different primary schools. No way I let them be treated worse than a dog. It's what I see with many parents they don't care or just tell the child to hang in. Once a principal dared to say every child is unhappy at school and bullied. What kind of attitude is that? I told him that the years a child spends at school are too long to feel miserable.

I might be an idiot but I should think that teachers like children and do their best to make their school time a great time.
