I won’t assert that things are the same as they were decades ago, but in my experience, the teachers/staff are complicit. Either actively or passively (usually passively).
It is my sincere hope that school faculty is (generally) more proactive in involving parents when bullying is apparent. Something tells me that’s not the case though. And I can’t even fathom what hell social media brings to the table; it must be like Lord of the Flies on there. I recall classrooms and busses when parents/drivers/subs/chaperones weren’t present and it was bad.
Many of them are, but there are some very good, caring educators and other school staff who go out of their way to look out for the kids who need it most.
