Oh, I'm all for school climate committees and inclusive sex ed curriculum — the levers than change culture. These things "reduce" bullying. They already have, and you know what? We're living in the midst of a bullying crisis, because now we hear from Nancy Grace whenever a teen commits suicide. Reductions in bullying have not translated into elimination of tragedy, which is how the public forms its opinions of the public school systems' safety and efficacy.
But I'm not depressed about it. Everyone thinks "the public schools" are teetering on the brink, but almost everyone loves their kids' teachers. The way everyone hates Congress but they keep reelecting the incumbent.
