[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 392249, member: 805"] Welcome Angie, I took the liberty of editing your first post to include some paragraph breaks. It's really difficult to read when it's a blob of print that my old eyes see!!! The urination issue is serious but part of me really wonders if it's true. I honestly don't see a six-year old boy dong something like that. It's also hard to see a teacher leaving a class of 6-year olds alone with pee on the floor. I'm wondering if this boy is just saying this to your son to get a rise out of him. Now listen, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I'm wondering if there is some double culpability between your son and this boy. I'm not saying that this boy is not picking on your son, but I wonder if you need to go and ask for your son to be moved into another classroom. Perhaps some time apart will help. (I had a situation like this with my son when he was in third grade - they ended up putting the other boy in the next classroom - certainly this young man caused my boy so much angst, but in reality is was also my son's reaction to this boy that played a part - they were oil and water). If this kid is really a bully, once your son is separated from him and he begins to act out towards another, the teacher might really take notice and the situation will finally be addressed. I don't believe I would let my son stay in the classroom with a child that is harming him, and I mean more than physically in this situation. You know, I don't really agree with this teacher and mom that this i just the way kids are. The kind of teasing and bullying usually doesn't start his young. Six-year olds are still babies really. Telling your son you would prefer he doesn't play with this boy is tough. Kids are resilient and forgiving. Boys can have a fist to cuffs one day and be playing basketball together the next. It's kinda that way with boys. He may forget from one day to the next or one week to the next and then "Wham!" the other boy does something mean and your kid "hates" him all over again. This is a really tough age because they are still young and don't really understand the reasoning that well. You may need to take a really hard line here and let the school know the negative effect this bullying is having on your son, advise them that zero tolerance bullying is what is expected at all schools and that they have a legal responsibility to keep your child safe. You expect them to keep and eye and get a handle on this situation immediately. Sharon [/QUOTE]
