why is it a school principal is allowed to lie on court documents and say bullying not happening at school?

Question

the principal in question is also telling others that her friends are not to be touched when the friends or the children of her friends are involved in bullying or viscious verbal abuse on a constant basis

Answer 1

Unfortunately the place most lies are told is in court! That is per my lawyer friend. My personal experience also has shown that. I appeared before a magistrate ( US ) & had to reming the magistrate through my lawyer that maybe we should be sworn in! I was P.O.'d after paying a 3k$ retainer fee. I figured at least I'd get SOME satisfaction of having my ex-wife lie under oath.

Answer 2

First off, a school wants to minimize the amount of controversy and publicity it receives in order to maximize the amount of funding it receives from the state legislature. If a district has a notorious reputation, then it will most likely not be deemed as a priority since the representatives of said district will not be appear easily supportive with satisfying their difficult demands.

Secondly, bullying is entirely subjective. What one child and parents may view as bullying, another child or family may view as natural and normal behavior with natural and normal interaction. The other families may counter with how the problems may be typical childhood problems that don't require excessive attention OR they may be caused by instigation along the child's part. Regardless of which it may be though, the principal knows that the monitors and whoever else is out there is not entirely reliable and that they don't wish to get involved either as being witnesses since they want to live their own lives.

Simply put the principal here is acting upon relativist motives. She believes that the problem can be solved by demanding others not to target her or her friends and therefore, scaring them into telling their children to behave. Yes she may realize that there are other children out there who may become picked on, but those children and their families do not APPEAR to be particularly reactive or willing to complain.

My advice is to complain aggressively and directly to the principle. It's very difficult to woo her over in a charismatic fashion when you're upset like this, so go all out. Don't make a fool of yourself and don't approach her without a plan, but be confident and bold in your posture. The worst that can happen is that she settles what she views as arrogance by giving into your demands and if this continues, you can demand an ultimatum with an "or else" clause.
