Hi and thanks for your piece in the WTE. I hope you continue raising awareness about bullying in schools in Cheyenne. A WTE letter writer didn't care for your "tone' but I thought it was spot on. I don't believe school officials have taken bullying seriously. If they did, it would not take place on school property. Period.
There is a lack of discipline in schools. By that I mean students should be told early on in primary school and especially reinforced in middle school that lack of respect for fellow students will not be tolerated. This needs to be put in a letter to the students home so the parents are very clear. This also needs to be told to the students to their faces, in an auditorium setting by the principal with all students and teachers present. Anything less in just pussy-footing around the problem.
