I am absolutely frustrated with my sons school. I just don't understand why parents now-a-days are not teaching their kids to be respectful. My son is a straight A student and fits every bit of the teasing for it... kinda kid. BUT... he wants to be a good student, he wants to get along with others, he wants to be friends with other kids. What he doesn't want... to deal with kids who tease him, bully him (or have the older brother do so), and literally bump or hit him and then tell the school staff that it was an accident. They get away with it. WHY??? How many times do you accidently bump the same student in the hallway? Every other day?? I don't think so. Damn it, I want the staff to do their job. Give my child an education and allow him to feel safe while doing so.
Don't make him so frustrated that he punches another student. Don't make him think he would rather be teased and bothered, then be labeled a tattle-tale. :**********(
I am tired of it. I am going to school tomorrow. I am going to talk to the counselor and the principal.
Oh... and DON'T pull my son from class, to have him discuss this crap. Pull the kids during lunch, fine, not during classtime. I have worked too hard to get him to not want to skip class. Don't make it ok to skip class and then say "Oh, don't worry, you can make it up!".
Oh, and then the main issue kid and my son had to sign a contact for their good behavior. After 10 days of good behavior, the counselor will take them to starbucks. Then after 1 month, Tacobell for lunch. #1... what if I don't take my kids to starbucks?? What if we don't eat fastfood? So, you teach a kid... be a bully and we will treat you for later being good for a few days?? NOT!!!! the way I choose to get my kids to behave. They do good things because they know they should. They aren't angels! I have seen them act up and treat others badly. BUT... we discuss these things and talk about why we shouldn't treat others that way, etc. UGH!!!!
I am frustrated!!!!!!!!!
Am I just nuts? I am honestly asking. Thanks,
Rebecca

Wow, I would really be upset about this too. The principle of that school needs to take at look at 'Rachel's Challenge'. Rachel was a student that was shot and killed at Columbine. Her Dad goes around to different schools talking about his daughter and bullying in schools. I'm so sorry that you and your son are going through this. Stand tall my friend and make it change.
Hugs,
I can completely relate to you. This is exactly what has happened to my son. he is very outgoing and staight A's as well. He doesn't like for the boys to make fun of him and others and it gets him so angry that he throughs his bag down ect... He just wants to have a friend that is nice and fun.... Not one that is too grown up for his own good and wants to make others feel bad . and it is amazing that these boys who start things and cause the trouble are the ones who get away with things and my son who is just reacting in frustation gets into the trouble or the principal will give all the boys line to do and the boys that really did nopthing wrong still get into trouble. i am very frustated too I am seriously thinking of home schooling. My son is frustated and that is what really make me sad. He's 6 yrs old way too young to not like school..... This is a sad situation... I pray that your situation and my situation are changed for the better andthat ours sons are not adversly affected by this anylonger in Jesus name..... Thank you Lord for our solution.
