Anti - Bully ralley? While I'm sure they mean well, it's the parents of bullies that need to be attened to. Those kids don't end up that way by accident - the parenting, or lack thereof, is the issue. While I agree that bully issues are becoming a big deal (especially cyber bulling), it seems that many think schools should be dealing with this. I'm retired, and my kids are grown, so it is not much of an issue to me, but to those who think the schools should deal with this have lost it! Schools are there to teach kids - that's it. All of this crap about anything else is worthless - schools have become the dumping grounds for all of society's problems. Now, I'm sure I'll get blasted by someone for all of this, but enough is enough. Bring back school uniforms as a mandated issues for schools, and get off the teacher's backs!
