Either way whether the teachers received very little training or not on how to deal with bullying, the comments the teachers made are still damn right disrespectful, Bullying happens everyday, teachers are aware of it, Training has nothing to do with it, No one is ever fully equipped to deal with bullying. The fact they had no training to me is just an excuse to get the focus away from the comments the teachers made.

There are ways to deal with bullying these comments are not one of them , its discrimination, and disrespectful and the comments are homophobic, there was no need for the comments, a better approach to this would have been : Punish the bullies in the way they need punishing, And help the victims. Explain to the bullies that everyone is different and not everyone is going to like the opposite sex, some people are going to like the same sex.

Dealing with bullying does not require training, it just requires teachers to take a stand against bullying and deal with bullying appropriately and fairly.
