Wish I could say it surprised me, but it doesn't.
I've seen first hand the lengths some school districts will go to to bully parents and students, all in an effort to circumvent their responsibilities. Lying, stripping files, falsifying documents, intentionally doing mental harm to a child, etc., etc., etc.
It's shameful. And more than once I've wondered how we can expect more from our children when a primary roll model behaves in this manner.
Thank God for the dedicated educators.
