Very well said Matt.
I usually take more ******** than I should but when the gloves are off, people don’t care for me because I am not nice.
We had a lot more problems in the larger schools that my kids went to when we lived in the Minneapolic Suburbs and Florida. The small school up here certainly has its challenges but once I got to know everybody, we have very few problems. Didn’t help before that my ex was “taking care of things” which meant she was talking to one of her supposed friends, who did nothing to help her. When I started making calls things happen.
We are now in the 6th year of kids going there and I pretty much know all the staff and most of the teachers. I also volunteer at the school and with sports sports programs quite a bit and I’m on a few nonprofits that donate to a lot of the school activities. I certainly don’t do these things for that reason, but ironically, we have had a lot less problems with other students harassing my kids as well.
