An End to Bullying

Re “District Adopts Anti-Bullying Policy,” March 15:

If this is to succeed, the faculty will have to give up their godlike aloofness, get down in the trenches with the kids and see for themselves what is going on. The kids will resent this, but so what? If a victim reports a bully, the only way to protect him from retaliation is to provide an around-the-clock bodyguard or send him out of town; otherwise, his tormentor will get to him sooner or later. The adults should get involved in everything the students do, not just in the classroom.
