“and still his loving parents sent him into that day after day... i do not understand this...”
Perhaps it’s because the parents and everyone else they’ve known attended public schools, as well, and can’t imagine that it can be done in any other way.
i believe you are correct about this... people are stuck in a box when it comes to their kids and public schools... i have heard too many parents say that they wish they would have taken their kids out of schoo... the problem is, this realization only comes after a bullying incident has gone too far... usually resulting in a poor child's death...
Sometimes it is better for a child to receive NO education whatsoever that attend these government cesspools. I seriously mean this!
This is evidently one of those times!
If parents of bullied children continue to send their children to school what lessons are they teaching this child?
1) That the parents are too dumb to know what pain he is suffering?
2) That the second job, bigger house, newer car, etc., is more important than he is?
3) That his parents value their free time and the free babysitting more than they do his safety?
4) That the parents are too stupid to teach basic reading, math, and social studies?
And... For all the children who aren't being bullied, they live in fear that they will be singled out as the next victim!
Is it any wonder that parents sometimes complain of a generation gap or having children that don't communicate with them? The kids learned long ago, “Why bother?”
