When I was in high school just ten years ago, most bullying seemed to go unnoticed. Unfortunately, schools don't have much power when it comes to bullying. Kids get a detention or suspension and they're back in school to bully again. Explusion is just a form of permanent vacation.
As much as we'd like to think putting thousands of kids from different background into one local school creates diversity, it seems to foster more segregation than anything. Why not take segregation into a positive direction with more learning venues like
The Harvey Milk High School? Kids naturally band together in cliques to be with peers that share their own interests, so why not organize schools to target kids of similar backgrounds and goals?
And, to Crys and Jenny... oh, how I envy your red hair!
