[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 84736, member: 23"] I was unclear with-my question -- sorry. There's always a bully around somewhere. What I meant to ask is if she has a similar situation in the future (not necessarily with-the same individual), what is she suppose to do when the other person has been talked to and it's ineffective? The reason I asked is because my son has been in similar situations in years past. I've pounded into his head "tell an adult." Sometimes he was ridiculed for telling an adult; sometimes the intervention taken by the adult was ineffective. I think skipping has to be discouraged just so not to give the impression it's ok. (with-my difficult child this may be a green light to skip at will. lol) On the other hand, in a similar situation it'd be a sad thing for a student to have consequences for his/her actions when the only other option s/he feels is left is to physically strike out, refuse school, run away, etc. I think the situation was handled well by your difficult child and school.
