Last Wednesday, Alison Despathy reported on the nightmarish bullying suffered by a girl at a public school in a small town with no real school choice options. That evening, she was a guest on a VDC-TV interview by social media director Paul Bean.
A few quotes from the interview with Danville resident, wife and mom, State House environmental activist, clinical nutritionist, and VDC columnist:
“The bottom line: chronic bullying not being dealt with. A lot of students unhappy, not feeling safe and not getting educational opportunity. And that’s a problem. It’s a huge problem.”
“The piece that I think is so frustrating is we can do something about it. We need to do something about it. Iit can’t just come down to, ‘well, sorry, it’s got to be about funding, and you have to stay here. It has to be about the student. And that’s what’s not happening right now.”
