As a parent, I feel compelled to share our family's disheartening experience with bullying at ISE. It is truly alarming to witness how a school that is supposed to be a safe place for our children can fall short in addressing such a critical issue.
My child has faced relentless bullying in this school. This was not the typical "kids will be kids" scenario; it was severe and persistent. The emotional toll this has taken on my child is immeasurable, leading to anxiety, a drop in academic performance, and a loss of interest in school altogether.its not even loss of interest, its more than that. He felt unsafe or scared to go to school.
What is most troubling is the response from the school administration. Rather than addressing the bullying directly and offering support, the school seems to sidestep the issue by blaming my child.
This not only exacerbates the problem but also sends a message that it is the victim who is at fault.
We reached out to teachers and counselors, hoping for intervention and support, but the responses were dismissive. Instead of taking the matter seriously and implementing strategies to foster a supportive environment, we felt our concerns were brushed aside. It’s disheartening to think that a school would prioritize its reputation over the mental well-being of its students.
Bullying thrives in silence, and when schools inadequately address it, they not only fail the victim but also allow the perpetrators to continue their harmful behavior. My child's experiences have taught us that open discussions about bullying, education on empathy, and real support systems are essential in creating a safe learning environment. Instead, we found ourselves feeling more alone in a place that should be a nurturing community.
No child should have to endure bullying in silence, and no parent should feel helpless in advocating for their child's safety and well-being. It is my hope that this review raises awareness and prompts a necessary change within the administration.
