The Massachusetts legislature just passed a statewide anti-bullying law that will require teachers to report bullying to the principal once they become aware of it. Bully! But I doubt it will change anything.
When I was in elementary school, I was a bully magnet. Heck, that magnetism kept working through high school too. One time in 5th grade, some moron name Dale (my tormentor in chief) was strangling me in the corner (!!!) of the classroom while the teacher was down the hall. I saw the principal walk in, look around, and leave (!!!).
Now times have a-changed, and teachers are forced to sit through all sorts of sensitivity workshops and anti-bullying symposiums, but many don't want to get in between boys just being boys.
I appreciate the thought behind the new law, though.
