@piepants @redhero Harassment in schools here gets tolerated, then brushed off, and the victim gets somehow blamed, almost every time. “We don’t recognize bullying as the cause of the absences,” so it’s “not serious”? Come on! That’s just word games to dodge responsibility. And god forbid you report it or even talk dare to about it. Same with the whole “strict teacher = good teacher” excuse - nope, it’s cover for abuse. Boils my piss for decades.
