Where would you draw the line? If a younger brother complained to a teacher because his older brother teased him over the weekend and he didn't like the way his parents handled the situation, should the school staff step in and speak to the older brother about the problem? Not in my view. Maybe I'm just too old. I'm not accustomed to schools doing the job of parents. I'd be happy if they just did a competent job of teaching.
