WRONG, AGAIN!
Ongoing bullying can cause protracted impairment of emotional health…the language of the NY Statute.
STOP excusing bad behavior and start stopping bad behavior.
You may be a history teacher, but I’m a Family Law Attorney and certified Guardian ad Litem. If I represented a child and the school gave these repeated excuses, the school and staff would find themselves in court pronto. The cloak of a yeshiva being a private school is not an excuse for non-compliance with the law…and NY law makes every adult a mandated reporter…this is the broadest language in the nation.
