You are right about the Principal, Fandy. He is a father to 5 kids of his own and is VERY good with communicating with the students at son's school. I only stepped in because son was coming off the school bus in tears and that was too much for me. I had tried to tell him ways in dealing with the situation, but it was too much for him. The good news is the school's counselor is going to come to the class and speak to them about bullying and its effects. Sad that it starts so early, but it does and needs to be addressed.
I think I would love to learn more about it and get involved with some sort of teaching group with regard to the situation of bullying. I applied to a couple of at home typing jobs yesterday and so that's just to pay the bills, but the other would be a passionate interest and pursuit.
