I just finished reading Bullyocracy about a month ago. While I do not agree with all your conclusions, the revelations are certainly accurate. From top to bottom, the public school systems are designed to promote and accommodate the Bullyocracy. I experienced it myself when at school. Putting other people down seems to earn you the respect of your peers- that and proficiency at athletics. (Good grades don't hurt either.) I was always at the very bottom of the class, and the butt of all the bullying. I simply did not care, thank God. I learned very early on that human respect is more changeable than the weather. I saw several of the more popular in my class get knocked down a notch or two, especially the poor kid that blew the easy layup in the biggest basketball game of the season. Six months later he was still being ribbed about it.

Only years later, as an education major myself, did I get to see the system from the top down, and what I saw was very ugly. The perception was that you studied hard, got good grades, got hired, signed a contract, and then you had it made in the shade. Just show up, put in the minimum effort, and collect a salary and all the perks, and be esteemed besides. One of the reasons teachers do not stop the bullies is they do not want notoriety, which is dangerous. Like in Stalinist Russia, the goal was to lie low and not be noticed... blend in and go along to get along. The Public School systems have but two commandments: Thou Shalt not Rock the Boat, and the second is like unto it: Thou shalt not make waves. Dare I say that most of the administrators are pederasts, and perhaps satanists. It just comes with the territory.

Parents who send their children to public school might as well be abusing them at home. The whole education racket has been in dire need of reform since at least the early '70's, when the Liberals completed their short march from the universities through the schools...

Excellent, as always! It's like you are reading MY mind when you write. I'm so thankful that there are others who really "see" these things and for YOUR gift of communicating them.
