A meaningless “monitor” — they could have killed one another and she wouldn’t have been allowed to do squat — but that wasn’t HER fault. It was the job description.
Usually the answer to something like that would be to call him “Mr. Mul”.
Uncles and aunts don’t usually take this convention in the US, probably because otherwise a child would likely have multiple “Uncle Smiths” (and “Aunt Jones” if she’s single).
Besides physical abuse there is also emotional abuse which can be more harmful and lasting. I am 70 years old and I was emotionally abused by my mother and still suffer from it.
I don’t believe the school districts are paying bus drivers enough for what they have to go through with those unruly brats
Way to go IRS! Show 'em how to really abuse a G'maw.
Doesn't sound like it. You are not allowed to say squat to our precious snowflakes.
Wouldn't want to damage their egos.
But our society does not allow that.
That being said, humans are pack animals and bad behavior begets more bad behavior. This isn't any worse than the "flash mobs" of mass theft by similar delinquents.
I'm glad the public rose to criticize and support, but the response is taking on a kind of overwrought self-righteousness.
None of us know, for absolutely certain, that none of our kids are capable of this. I just wish a whipping was still an option--punish, and get on with life.
Now it's all "ain't it awful! they are so awful!"--
I agree with the general thrust of what you say, but you’re dead wrong about the 13 year olds running in fear if Grandma started playing bop on their heads. She’d be dead. You think these kids don’t act like packs and take down and kill their prey? The harrassment the woman received is the appetizer. Video abounds of kids - children - this age taking down adults and beating them to pulps.
Nope, bad wrong.
The day is past for citizen activism, much less old ladies. I saw a black man an inch from being killed by yout’s who he was calling out verbally. That was nearly 15 years ago. These are probably the children of those children.
I’m sure plenty of suggestions will show up on this thread as to the cure, but most are huff and puff. You’re not the parents (who know who they are) and you’re not a cop/social worker/warden. Unless you’re called by God to admonish these savages, don’t. One exception, if somebodies life is threatened - do what you must...
If you must live or travel in these hellholes, carry. If you don’t live there, don’t go. Build your society away from society.
When the students ask for my first name, I tell them, "Mister, didn't I just tell you that?"
If parents and teachers would teach their little brats manners, things like this would not happen.
...one parent did go to Klein’s home to personally apologize to her for his son’s behavior, though. I think that was the right thing to do.
%%%
No, the idiot father should have dragged the miscreant by his ear to Klein’s house to make the kid apologize. These jerks are so pampered that their parents even make their apologies for them. Unbelievable.
Instruct your kids then to call your neighbor Mr Joe, instead of just Joe
Regarding your neighbor’s last name: When I was teaching, I had a colleague with a difficult last name and she allowed the kids to call her “Miss P”.
That’s what I thought. The nastiest remarks I heard sounded very much like a girl’s voice.
If that was a boy, he’ll make a great soprano.
Funny now that the donations are reaching such high levels, there are libs that are saying that she needs to donate the money to some worthy charity. Libs always want to control what someone else does with their money.

I agree, he should have dragged the little miscreant by his ears and said Mrs Klein my son has something to say to you and made him apologize, and made sure the apology was sincere
I suspect the REASON WHY they did it, and made a video of it, was to provoke her into hitting one of them. That way, there would have been a big pay day when their parents sued the school.
I would not be surprised if their parents put them up to it.
