the bully is back

Does this school have a bullying policy?  At my child's school, this child would be close to suspension, if not already suspended.  It's ridiculous that the teacher is viewing this as an isolated incident.  It is a pattern of behavior, not an isolated incident.

Keep documenting everything happening and keep reporting to the principal about it.  Maybe say that you might need to take this up the ladder to the superintendent if the principal doesn't handle the problem.

Is the school's counselor involved?  Maybe that person could help?

In your shoes, I wouldn't allow that child on my property.  Let the bully feel left out of playing w/ the whole group, and maybe he'll see that maybe it's not such a good idea to be bullying your son.  Not that that'll solve the problem, for then he'll find someone else to bully.

Go down to the school in person and see the principal face to face.

I don't get the parents????  Why don't they get, that their kid has a problem??? And I don't get the school, why don't they do something????

Longsally, do NOT let him in your house, in your yard. Do not let him play with your son outside of school.

contact the superintendant if the principal is of no help. This is getting ridiculous! You are honestly doing everything that you can do, it is the others, not you or your son!! The kid needs a suspension!!  And since nothing happens to him, he continues to do it, because he gets away with it and gets some attention for himself and it makes him feel better about himself!!

Do the other kids honestly like him?

"He didn't say anything at all to me today.  In fact all seemed normal.  I will speak to xxxxx in the morning, hopefully this is just an isolated incidence.  I do understand your concern, due to the past circumstances. They will definitely be in separate classrooms next year.  Let me know if you hear anything further~ hopefully nothing else  this year"

This is the response I got from the teacher.  I asked my son why he didnt tell her yesterday what was going on and he stared me straight in the face and said " well, she never does anything anyway so I figured i wouldnt bother her". 

I am still going to insist the principal be made aware next year, they will recess together and I see problems. I would also like to add that I have found a charter school here in my area that has a class ratio of 1:7 and it is for adhd kids.  It is for 5,6,7 and 8th grade and costs 550.00 a month. I dont see how I cannot utilize this for my son.  He only has to hold on for 2 more years until I can get him there.

My son wouldn't/doesn't tell on others. Teachers would always try to get him to feel safe and tell them, instead of coming home and telling us and then us chasing the school.

Keep what you are doing, you will make sure he makes it through the next 2 years until you can get him to the other school!!

well, here it is in a nutshell.  My child has a kid in the class who has been picking on him, he lives in our neighborhood to boot!!!!!  Son asked him to stop, he didnt, then he recruited other kids and it got bigger and bigger.  Then the kid ended up in guidance.  He left and went back to the classroom and started up on another kid.  I spoke to the parents and that got me no where.  He finally ended up in the principals office with his father and was told ENOUGH!!!!! ( after I complained to the principal, the teacher was useless)

Last week, this child knocked on our door and asked my son to come out with his Nintendo.  After he went out, the boy said " I just called you out here to tell you I have xxxx and rub it in your face".  My son came home upset and I went out and called this child by name.  He immediately said " I didnt do it".  I said " do what?"  he said " I didnt say it"   I said " say what"?  He was busted and he knew it.

A few days later, he knocked and wanted to come in as there were a lot of kids here playing.  He asked to come in and within 5 minutes, he had called my younger child stupid, retarded and weird.

Today, as he was sitting in the hallway with the other kids waiting for class to start, this same child announced to everyone that if my son spoke to them, they should ignore him and they did that to him all day!!!!!!

I wrote to his teacher again today and informed her that I wanted this reported to the principal.  I will give her 2 days to do so and then I will have to go in again.  What else can I do?

I would get in touch with that teacher and ask what her problem is??? I would also let her boss, the principal know. Have you been to the superintendant? Do not write to any of them, call them or go down in person. Don't be emotional or they can turn it on you and believe me they will try!

Yes, document eveything as well!!

Lousy school!!

well, update:  My son came home from school and informed me that a friend of this bully came up to him for no reason today and pushed him so my son pushed him back.  Then, he hit my son so my son hit him back.  My son went to tell the outside teacher but the bell rang just then so he lines up with the others and told the teacher what happenned.  Her response was " well, you should have told the other teacher" amd she did nothing.  She is useless.  That was the final straw.  I told my son that if this kid so much as looks at him wrong, he should kick the crap out of him!!!

I told him to bite him, scratch him, punch, hit, slap, kick and anything else that came to mind.  I told him that the child would hit back and it would hurt but if he prepared himself, he could get through it.  He is now across the street getting lessons from his friend in how to fight and defend himself.
