Reply to comment by mcgeggy in What is the right way for parents to request footage from school bus in Monmouth County. There are suspicions of bullying. by Turbulent-Mood-6926

As a parent it wouldn't matter to me. If my kid is getting bullied, defends himself and then gets suspended, he would receive no punishment from me. As long as he was defending himself.

Sure, but from a child’s perspective, sticking up for one’s self and then getting suspended can be pretty upsetting too…

I think that the kid probably gets his value system more from his family than school system. It would definitely be dramatic for the kid no doubt, I do agree. But if the parent stood by him it would be great life lesson.

Well, standing by your kids and supporting them is certainly a keystone of good parenting! Except for those bullies parents of course…
