Heard about this?

There's been a lot of talk about what school officials can or should
do to crack down on bullies.

One thing that hasn't been talked about very much, though, is what did
the PARENTS of the bullies know and when did they know it? And if they
knew, did they CARE that their children were bullies, if they believed
that in the first place?

More on that here:

Elsewhere, a family therapist once wrote that he had never received a
letter from a bully's parent asking for help. His theory was that most
parents of bullies are latent bullies themselves. That would *seem* to
fit in with a certain well-known 1950s fictional spoiled brat who
liked "bossing and bullying" - Eustace Scrubb. That is, as you may
remember from the end of C.S. Lewis' book, everyone is delighted with
Eustace's brand-new modesty and civility towards others - except his
mother, who now describes him as "commonplace and tiresome."
