Oh fair enough. My apologies Mr Worf. I don't fully agree - plenty of shitty behavior gets ignored (or even encouraged) even in a workplace - but there's definitely some truth here.

It's way easier to change workplace than to change school, so I don't think it can get so extreme.
With a workplace if you can gather evidence and document it there's a significant chance of a lawsuit with a payout.

Schools are generally protected against that, and your only hope is to replace the school board, who is commonly bullies themselves.

Yep, so HR people occasionally learn a hard lesson when they don't do their job to cover for their friends.
