[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 309033, member: 1991"] According to what you said, it seems that Eeyore MAY have said something to the other boys. But it wasn't Eeyore who shoved first. Which means - the other boys should also get ISS. Where was the playground supervision? CCTV is no substitute for someone on the spot to prevent this sort of rubbish. We used to het this with difficult child 3. An intense rule-follower, he got very angry if someone cut in line. But another cute little game the boys would play - they would push suddenly at the end of the line and send kids tumbling like dominoes. If difficult child 3 was one of those kids, he would sometimes blame the boy who pushed into him and not realsie the domino problem. I actually witnessed this a number of times on different occasions but could never get the teachers to do anything about it. difficult child 3 would be stirred up and iin a heightened state, and they would then punish him if he failed to do his work properly or was irritable. The kids who shoved in difficult child 3's case knew exactly what they were doing. Most of the time the kids who got shoved were the ones regularly targetted. The oddballs, the nerds, the weird kids. The ones teachers preferred to not believe because they weren't so pretty or good at sports. I remember one time seeing difficult child 3 and another boy go tumbling, the teacher turning around and yelling at these two for "mucking around" while the boys who had shoved them walked away grinning. I had no opportunity to say anything, it would only have led to reprisals. I did have a word to his aide quietly and let her know that I had seen what happened. But the class teacher - couldn't care less. As long as kids didn't draw blood... and sometimes not even then. Marg [/QUOTE]
