Exactly! And how do we know which threats are to be taken seriously?? I have often thought about home schooling my son. He had a knife pulled on him in 7th grade. I told the principal and she did NOTHING!! Said it was his word against the other kid, so I decided to go over her head and get the police involved. Well an officer came to the school the following Monday, pulled the kid out of class and searched his backpack only to find numerous knifes and handmade weapons. This child was expelled, and all of his friends held my son responsible and made his life a living Hell the last two months of school. I offered to pull him out but he refused to let them get the better of him. I do admire him for that.
My son has a passion for shoes like I do for Yorkies. He has quite a few very expensive and rare Jordans that he has been threatened over. I now am very careful about what he can buy and wear to school. I see him becoming bitter, so I try to explain to him that the world is not this way, that things will be better when he gets out of school. I hope I am right.
