This. The impression I’ve gotten from her interviews is that she certainly had the ability to punish the kids throughout the year (writing them up, etc.), she just simply chose not to because she thought ignoring it would be better. That’s not someone being bullied, that’s someone being lazy and not doing their job properly.
