Grade-schooler problems!?
Answer:
You go to the school, and ask to speak with the principal. Yuo can be nice and understanding or you can ask why the staff at the school is not doing their job and allowed you son to be bullied.
My son was in 1st grade when he got suspended for decking a 4th grader. They were picking on a little girl in Kindergarten every day. She was crying all the time, no one helped her. He took into his own hands.
When I got to the school, I was told by office staff he was suspended and keep him home for 3 days, then given the bum's rush.
I told them I wanted to talk to the principal. The principal said the school had a no fighting policy, no exceptions tough.
I asked my son why he hit the kid, in front of the principal he explained how the kids picked on her every day and the teacher and play ground monitors were too busy talking with each other to do their jobs. So he told the kids to leave her alone, the kid said 'Make me' and he did.
Then he said as only a 1st grader can, Gee Mom, someone had to help her, she is only a little kid.
He was not suspended. The monitors then monitored.
u need to talk to the teacher about this
I say tell your kid to beat the snot out of the other kid. I actually came up to the kid myself and told him if he lays one finger on my son I'll rip his f_ing head off.
That solved our problem.
Hope this helps.
I would go to your son's teacher and address the problem. Tell him/her that you would like some help/advice on how to teach your son that violence isn't the answer, and tell her how you're feeling frustrated about this other child hitting your son. Ask what the school policy is for bullying, and what type of disciplinary actions are taken for physical violence. Ask the teacher what would be the best way for you to teach your son the consequences of violent behaviour.
If the answers the teacher gives aren't satisfatory, then go to the principal to address your concerns.
Try to remain calm (I know how hard that is when you're passionate about your children!), and approach the subject through a "I feel." and asking for advice manner (don't get defensive).
It's important for your son to see that there are consequences for violent behaviour. If you don't get a satisfactory answer from the school, then take it to the district level or change schools!
You make a very good point in your query about letting you son retaliate. Self-defence isn't violence - it is self preservation. You may need to encourage your son that is not right to hit first however should someone hit him first, then he should know that he can defend himself. Otherwise he may wind up being a target for every wannabe bully in the school who want take a shot at him and know that he won't hit back.
I'm surprised though that the school hasn't jumped on this. The school authorities should be made aware of this issue. It needs to be addressed at management level. This other kid should also be told no ordered to keep his grubby paws to himself.
first of all your kid cant beat the snot out of the other kid but a group of kids can you see a bully thinks he got lots of power in side of him but if your kid have a lot of friends that he can look up to and to hang around them the bully is scared to pick on your son because there are other kids around and he is scared that the other kid will tell the teacher. as long as your kid is around other people such as friends or teacher the bully weak. and also i have giving you reference below if my message message don't work
