All classrooms open to the outdoors.)<br /><br />She had support. Victoria asked her if she wanted to go to the health office. If she had told Victoria what happened, Victoria would have probably taken her to the office. She chose not to report the incident. Which I think is a mistake, but I can't make her make the report (and I don't know the name of the boy--she wouldn't tell me).Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-66916989515244578902019-09-22T14:25:29.364-07:002019-09-22T14:25:29.364-07:00Is there a protocol for letting a student go into ...Is there a protocol for letting a student go into the hallway by themselves when they're obviously upset?

If she was shaking so, she was scared, the poor thing. Often bullies can be subtle and that she was hit by that S.O.B. plus didn't want to rock the boat by informing on him means they threatened her. I am sorry but that brings to mind the crap I went through. they told me they would slice my throat if I said anything.
