Today we withdrew Ted from his high school. I am deeply saddened that he is the one that is forced to leave his school because the authorities refuse to take action against the bullies. The coach that walked away as Ted begged for help is still working there. The coach(and algebra teacher) that harrassed Ted for “telling” on the baseball coach hasn’t been reprimanded. And the athletic director isn’t the least interested in that fact that her programs are being run by men with no integrity. No wonder the wrestlers are running burglary rings and the baseball team are thugs.
We got a letter today from the state attorney. Apparently 3 of the 51 kids that participated are being charged with battery, and we need to give a victim’s statement.
So, we are going to visit a school in another county (about 40 miles away) because it has a good band program. Alternately he can take online classes and dual enrollment classes at the local community college.
I keep telling myself that when God closes a door He opens a window…so we are trying to wait patiently to see the window.
I agree that most problems at school can be worked out by the teens involved. Some are too serious and adults need to get involved. We pulled him out of school under advice from his doctor.
