I'm the Director of IT. If you told me about how something was screwed up with your computers at work, I'd tell you to have your IT folks deal with it.

Your sister's a teacher. She's telling you to let the teachers deal with it.

We're both right, up to a point. But only up to a point.

I personally would tell the kid that you can't go around handing out vigilante justice, no matter how richly deserved, and it's wrong to blast somebody in the face like that. But it's also wrong to stand aside if something bad is happening to another person. And I'm proud of him for choosing to stand up for his new friend. And if it sounds like I just gave him two completely contradictory instructions, well, that's the way life is sometimes.

Yeah. She took the austistic kid out of the situation, but left the bully in. Not the best situation.
