Well, Why dont governer bredeson fund some money to the giles county schools to help stop school bullying??? Is that not a worthy area to help. I know of 8 Children that are being bullyed on a daily basis in our beloved Richland schools. The same kind of bullying that Jamie Rouse went thru and these 8 children are being failed by the school the same way Mr. Rouse was. Dont get me wrong I am in no way saying the way Jamie Rouse put an end to the bullying is right or in any way was justafifed. But I do understand how he must have felt when he asked for help and was told that there was no need for help because there was no problem. Why would you fund a program that puts younger children in a school system such as this one??

I THINK WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ASSITANT THAT HELPS WITH OUR PRE-K.SHE LIKES TO HOLLAR AT THEM.SHE IS VERY RUDE TO THEM.THIS IS ALL NEW FOR THEM AND SHE COULD CARE LESS.I AM SURE SHE WOULD NOT WANT HER CHILDREN BEING TALKED TO LIKE THAT.
