I am sorry to say that the girl's comments on Spence describe what is going on at MANY schools in the district. I am a teacher at an elementary school in Oak Cliff and we have experienced the same actions that one teacher described in this blog. ELEMENTARY students are bullying other children. We send them to the principal or Assistant Principal and nothing is done. We call parents, nothing is done. CHAMPS does not work with this group of children. Assaults on children and staff are up since we have initiated CHAMPS. I have a step-son in a Dallas middle school and he has been repeatedly bullied. Children and parents at this particular middle school do not fear the tickets that are written by the district.
If this issue is not addressed soon, we are sending the wrong message and have failed our children!
