Do you have specific examples? I can't imagine Dublin school district employees are ignoring this.

I'm not really sure if you were saying I need to be a better parent or if my local principal needed to start spanking? Sounds like your daughter wishes they would bring back spanking in the public school system? I'm not opposed to it no. Sorry if that offends anyone. I do have four children, they do get punished and taught to treat others as they would like to be treated.My kids are not to hit or put their hands on anyone but it is sad when others do not teach the same at home. I do hear dublin parents tell their children they will spank them when they get home. Yes shocking I know. I'm not sure where the new principal came from? I know she has not made a real attempt to get involved and when I was in school the principal was hands on in everything. There was fear of going to that office and it kept you straight. The transportation dept and our local school are clueless as to who is supposed to handle what and where the lines are drawn. I'm not really opposed to government healthcare or government schools if it helps so I cant get into that discussion. My kids are officially home educated now so I will be able to keep them from getting beaten by bullys now thank god. My father is a vietnam vet that spanked us,He taught us also to keep a good watchfull eye on others we leave our own children with. and that includes the school they attend and the staff there. They need to be held accountable for policies that are put into place to protect innocent children.They are holding daily our greatest treasures.

Kimberly-
They are not public schools. They are government schools.
Just wait until we have government health care.

I actually tried and my husband tryed to reach Mr. Axner by phone and were told he would call us by several different woman answering phones at the district office. But he must not have been able to find the time? I did get an email back from him on the complaint I thought I was filing against the principal that simply said to take it up with the principal herself. In the district policy I read on the matter I was following protocol. I'm not sure where accountability was this day? My kids are officially out of the school now and being home educated. My 9 year old son seems to still be scared he will have to return and no one will stop the kid from throwing him around like a rag doll. By the way my husband did drive into the school since the principal would not return his calls either and he was shown the incident report book. Not very many parents have been informed of what their kids are going through at that school. Not very many incidents have been reported to the principal period. It states in the district policy against bullying and harrasment and other violent offenses that no matter even if its verbal,once a child brings it to the attention on a staff member they have to follow up immediately and report it. Did the teacher my son went to the first time not get the memo I wonder. He and others have been neglected. Left to fend for themselves.

Kimberly: If contacting the superintendent didn't work for your family, have you thought about speaking at a school board meeting?
