[QUOTE="hamlet, post: 454037, member: 11970"] Unfortunately, I think that this is part of it. The children ARE brutal toward each other. It's not just difficult child, but he because of his diagnosis he is not as resilient as the other kids. And, you are so right about the teachers taking sides. An incident at the end of last year was absolutely ridiculous in this regard. I will request the IEP for difficult child for the emotional factors this year. I tried to make the teachers/principle aware of it last year, but it may have actually caused them to place blame on difficult child even more, since he's the "sick" kid. When he tried to explain himself they would say, "Oh, but you can't use that as an excuse!" Uh, it's not an excuse, it's a reason you fool! ETA: We, (easy child and me,) have stopped using nicknames for the pets in deference to difficult child. It's a hard habit to break, though. I can only guess that the kids who do the bullying get away with it because their parents tolerate it, and even excuse it. I can't imagine that! Sometimes it feels like the reasonable voice gets drowned out by all of the chatter and one-ups-manship. [/QUOTE]
