I taught from 2000 to 2012. Bullying was rampant. Teachers come from all sorts of backgrounds and some do not appreciate the damage bullying does. Some teachers just go with what the other teacher's are saying, don't want to be called out for trying to help some student-which is also bullying. I loved teaching, it was a second career, and I am now retired.
