[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 472568, member: 6705"] Welcome! I, too, have a son who gets bullied. He's doing better at ignoring them, but it's mostly verbal so far. He has gotten in trouble a couple of times for standing up for himself. (We had to explain that punching other kids is only used to GET OUT of a situation where they are beating on him. I'm not sure it got through.) Most (all, perhaps, but I don't know) of our buses have aides on them, now, due to the fact that they mix schools and there have been issues in the past. But even the aides seem to be blind. I'm not surprised the driver didn't see anything - truly, he (she) is supposed to be driving safely. Looking at the kids isn't terribly safe. But... They need an aide. That's all there is to it. We had a small incident a week or so ago where they were playing kickball in gym, and Jett hit another boy in the genital area. Kid cussed him out. OK, so far. Jett apologized, said he didn't mean it, and the other kid started threatening him and [I]his family[/I]. Jett went to the teacher - who was a sub - and he "didn't know what to do". That did NOT go over well with me. I emailed the principal for more info. Jett has been known to prevaricate... As it turns out, the sub reported that there were no issues - then when asked, said oh, that was just typical boy. (Kid in question got suspended & put in juvie the [I]next day [/I]for a false bomb threat.) Jett has an IEP [I]because[/I] he has issues (and most are bully-magnets). DUH. We are requesting a meeting and I want more than core and sped teachers there. Sadly, there's not a lot to be done if the school won't work with you (aside from homeschooling). How old is your son?
