Re: The Student Petition

I don't know. As positive as the article is (and the 300 students are), I still see what isn't written, and apparently wasn't done:

The photo shows a HUGE 3 story school; probably 1500 students or more, and only 300 students (no teachers?) signed the petition. That doesn't bode well. ALSO, where were the Superintendent, Principal, teachers, and fellow students when this kid WAS being bullied to the point he felt he had to drop out? (I won't even hazard a guess as to how many other students are being bullied, but the implication stands.) To me, the picture isn't rosy; it's merely indicative of far too many schools where faculty and students turn their back on victims until a small vocal "handful" come to the rescue. How soon do you think it'll be before the status quo returns?
