Daughter assaulted at school

[Anonymous]

As a teacher who is absolutely sick of this sh!t here’s what I would do depending on your daughter’s preference. Email the principal and ask for a change of class placement or a safety plan for your daughter. If the response is not sufficient email risk management, school board members and superintendent. If the kid physically touches or throws something at your daughter again call the cops.

Tell your kid to stay away from him 10yo boys don’t make good choices and are immature.

Boys will be boys?

+1 🤮

+1. Also a teacher and parent of a girl who got a corneal abrasion when a classmate lashed out because everyone was asked to wait in line. We would have done exactly what the PP suggested but then Covid happened. One of the few bright sides was that my DD no longer dreaded going to school with a classmate who made her feel unsafe.

Ugh, frustrating. I do not know what/how this current thinking is effecting any good change. If I were you, OP, I would make clear that my student does not feel safe around this student and ask for seating arrangements that means the kid in question is not near your child. Advise your daughter to avoid him at recess, etc.

Thank you for chiming in

Stop with the boy/men hate. Girls and women can be just as violent and aggressive.

Not statistically.

Thank you. The OP should do this. Also, never bring candy or other drool-worthy items unless you're willing to share them with everyone.

In her OP it says she did share! Apparently it wasn’t enough for the little psycho

That's a lot more than any MCPS response I've ever seen for a lot worse. Sorry that happened to your DD. My kid was stabbed at school by another student and injured. I filed a police report but these kids are older. Talk circles are just for schools to check off liability boxes. It's BS.

Name the school. No public or private school I know allows sharing of food as allergies are prevalent. Name the school or i didn’ happen.

OMG shut up. Kids sneak and share candy all the time. There’s not enough staff to watch everyone.

I am surprised the teachers are egging OP on. It makes me wonder if OP is sock puppeting. The fact is we have no idea how the original incident went down and even less what the punishment was. It would be a horrific breach of privacy for the teacher to have informed the OP, which means OP is going on the word of her fifth grade daughter.

I am actually all for serious punishments but a kid throwing a pencil which sounds like it didn't do any harm (or did I miss that post?) is small potatoes compared to the cyber bullying and meanness that goes on starting... right around fifth grade. I have two in college, two in high school and am shocked at how hands off parents are with phones and social media.

Throwing things is against the rules, too right? Kids do things against the rules. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the school punished the girl for sharing candy and not the boy for assaulting her.
