Q:
WHAT CAN I DO IF TEACHER`S IGNORE THE BULLYING?
My son is in year 2 and it`s a daily battle to get him to school.He says he`s constantly being bullied, even by his supposed friends. Last year was the same.he tells me all except 2 of his classmates don`t like him.He`s a thoughtful and respectful kid, so i don`t understand it.I`ve tried sorting things out with teachers and the principal. Even spoke to a principal at another school, to try and get him moved.
no luck, they say it`s not happening.. the feeling i get from staff is intimidation towards my son.
i`ve witnessed him being slapped in the face, kicked in the shins, thrown to the ground. all with a teacher on duty. they say, "I didn`t see anything", when i know for a fact they did.
i know they have little power towards reprimanding bullies but i`m at my wits end, with my little boy always crying, and fighting with all he has to not go to school.
last year, when this was happening, i confronted the staff and was told that i baby him too much.yeah, because he`s being bullied!!!
his year 1 teacher told him "why don`t you stop acting like a baby or go back to pre-school"... all this because he asked to go to the toilet during reading class.
i`m in desperate need of help, otherwise i`ll consider home schooling. and with me working 2 jobs, that`s going to be impossible.
