Seriously I would request a meeting with the boy and his parents present. Also teach your son to defend himself like the real kind
@Dai exactly what im thinking of doing and yeah i know
I grew up with older brothers so I never had to worry about that but my youngest has an older brother and a older sister who will protect him
Oh hell to the no. Go to the school and talk to them in person. Something similar happened to my oldest and I talk to the school, it kept happening anf school wasn't doing much so I had a talk with the kids mother. Shit stop right after that.
My daughter is about to be 9 and she has a girl in her class that’s always messing with her. I teach my daughter to be “unfuckable” with. I tell her that she has a choice in how she wants to present herself in school; either she’s gonna be a girl who takes bullying or she’s gonna be a girl who doesn’t allow it. And we would role play scenarios of what the girl would say and what she could say back. An example here is if that kid starts to mess with your son again, your son empowers himself to look the kid dead in the eyes and tell him to leave him be. “If you don’t leave me be I’ll do what you did to me”. Etc. It may be intimidating and I understand most kids are going to feel scared to stand up to a bully, but it’s truly the most authentic way to establish themselves in the world so future bullies know that your kid is not one that can be fucked with. I know that teachers have their hands full and can deal with bullying in a very vague way
This is a huge reason we decided to do virtual school. The school doesn’t hold students accountable anymore. No one takes bullying seriously. Of course I still teach my kids to deal with conflicts etc but bullying is something I’m not taking chances on because too many kids end up unaliving themselves do to it. And it also takes away from them learning and having fun.
If the school is closed already, I’d head over there tomorrow morning with my child or keep the child home until they call you back. Regardless don’t be the mom they run all over. I’ve had my daughter punched in the face on the school bus by a boy in kindergarten. As soon as her dad saw her, he ran after the boy and followed him home. We immediately spoke to the mom and the next day I was at the school raising hell. Speak up for your child.
This is not bullying this is assault. If you don’t want to pull him out you need to create a paper trail. I would suggest emailing the teacher and copy the school counselor, vice principal, principal and superintended. That behavior from a person in authority is unacceptable.
Find a way to contact his parents. Went through a similar situation. The boy was walker. We waited the next day and endedd up meeting his mom and dad. The situation was handled.
Go up to the school. Fuck that.
