[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 535294, member: 6557"] Yes difficult questions for sure. When I was young I was glad we were moving to a new state. I was looking forward to leaving the bullies behind. Only problem was the new school had them as well. I looked forward to the second move to yet another state. Found the invisible "kick me" sign I wore on my back came with the there as well. So to some extent I believe that if you don't address the social skills, the problem can keep cropping up no mater where you go. That said, the way a school administrations manages bullies makes a huge difference as well. I ended up putting my sons in private school partially because the public school did a very poor job of managing bullies. The private school does not tolerate it, the kids all know it. The students know what they can and can't get away with, and follow the line with extreme accuracy. If you move him to a different school, the child who is the leader instigating the picking efforts will simply be replaced by another. The questions I would ask are: 1) which school will do a better job of managing bullies. Work with them to train them to treat people with respect and have a limit which they can tolerate. 2) Which school will do a better job of teaching your child stronger social skills? One idea is to look to books and resources for Aspergers Syndrome. I'm not saying he has Aspergers, just that kids with Aspergers often require specific social skills training and some of the same approaches might be helpful. [/QUOTE]
