One good comment I've seen re: the bullying is now, at least, finally, there's proof...
How much are you willing to bet that it is that little detail which is really making school administrators twitch? Not the bullying, but the fact that it is documented bullying?
Text messages and video footage on youtube make it harder for adults to blow things off, or to minimize things as "kids being kids". School shouldn't be a slightly less stabby version of prison. We would never ask an adult to put up with what we often demand of minors...
