There have been a lot of useful sugestions here, and among the most attractive is to 'modify' the WAVE concept to turn in "the jocks" and anonymously rat out the harass-ers, not the harass-ies (as we fear would be the result of "Geek Profiling").
DON'T DO IT.
It only sounds attractive to us after our multitude of hellish experiences in school. But our hopes are that we can enhance kid's freedoms. And jocks are just disturbed kids too. If Pinkerton can 'win us over' by listening to us, they are JUST USING PSYCHOLOGY. They could just invite you there to listen to your concerns and then say, "Well, this is how we plan to deal with the kids. We want to listen to them"... my @ss!
Stick to your guns. Child-violence is a result of alienation, harassment, and socially retarded values of 'normalcy'.
Ask them how WAVE is going to function if the Administration of the schools does not want to investigate the school's community leaders?
And what kid is gonna wanna run for student council if they have EVER done anything wrong?
Strange how quickly the children's peer society is beginning to resemble our "normal adult world".
