if you said anything, or got up, or turned around, the other kids would endlessly make fun of you as a square, a geek, a nerd, a creep, or a holier than thou.....its very difficult standing up to this crap....
it might be a good thing to have a massive depression with the loss of tv and cable could be raised innocent and polite and happy again..

This article speaks for itself. Where are the so-called "good" teachers? Why didn't the author say or do something? Seems as if he has the courage to write this up after wards but not during the event. He doesn't have a leg to stand. Like many on these lists all talk and no action.

I wonder where all those people were who are trying to reform the system from within. Seems to me that that would have been a good time to take a stand. Instead of writing the article why didn't the author do something?

This article speaks for itself. Where are the so-called "good" teachers? You claimed to have been a charge Nurse in a psychiatric ward/ hospital for period of time. I am certain that you have heard of the Milgram experiment: (http://psychology.about.com/od/historyofpsychology/a/milgram.htm)
"The social psychology of this century reveals a major lesson: often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act." Stanley Milgram, 1974
Having led men in combat I can attest to the validity of this statement.

Hm?.....Interesting point.
Parents then need to know the situations that children are coping with in their schools and elsewhere.
Maybe this article needs to “go viral” so parents can know what is going on.

wintertime was asked a direct question which he refused to answer: Why didn't the author say or do something?
Please answer the question and there will be no need to ping you.
I have noticed a propensity for his desire stifle opposition by refusing to answer these very simple questions.

I know that you really hate verga, but he posted a link to an article that really explains the mentality.
http://www.gleamingedge.com/mirrors/onsheepwolvesandsheepdogs.html
Basically there are three types of people: Sheep (80%), Sheepdogs (10%), Wolves (10%) While I don't know him personally, I did know his company commander and he had deep respect for vergas's leadership.

wintertime has a literacy issue. Others and myself have tried to explain the difference to him between saying that some has an emotion and that some one is the emotion. I have told him that there is a difference between being a bigot and making bigoted comments but he just doesn't understand. It is either that or he will use any excuse not to address an issue.
