Last night we had a PTA meeting and the guest speaker was our guidance counselor who spoke on bullying, respect for others and tolerance. She said that many times when the parents of the bully come in that they just chalk it up to "boys will be boys" and dont want to address the problem.
IMO, this is a lame excuse for bullying. There is no excuse for it, plain and simple.
Your thoughts?
ETA:
To hopefully clear up confusion : the parents who are called into her office bc their child is being a bully are shocked that it is a problem and just dismiss thier childs actions with the excuse "boys will be boys". The counselor was not happy about the parents not taking the situation seriously.
