Q:
What should I do next?
My 8 yr old son was recently removed from an excellent school system that we had no problems with until this year. I was very involved at the school with volunteering so I happened to notice many things weekly, sometimes daily.
1st incident:My son was being bullied by another student. I asked that my son not have any contact with the bully while at school including recess, lunch table, line up, etc. After a very warm PE class, my son was fanning his face and the bully (yes, he was in line right by my son) made a comment about my son "looking" like a girl. My son went to the teacher immediately (which both parents and teacher agreed upon) and reported the comment. The teacher's response was, " Well he's just trying to teach you to be a normal boy." My son gets in the car after school and proceeds to fall apart while asking me if I think he is normal. 2nd incident:Above teacher decided that certain students were taking too many bathroom breaks so she devised a new bathroom policy: One classroom bathroom break (usually in the am.) and two bathroom passes for the rest of the day. If you used all your bathroom passes, then you were out of luck until you got home. 3rd incident:Above teacher sends a frustrated and crying child to another more aggressive teacher to be disciplined.
I met with the principal on two occasions with above concerns and was told that ALL children in this age group lie and then labeled my son as a "mama's boy". There is more to this story. What no
