If your child with SN was bullied by another child did the parents apologize?

That is one reason why I don't think parents should be in the classroom, they should not be talking about kids activities in the classroom/school outside of the classroom.

I actually had a parent assault my child and I did not want her to apologize to me, though she found my phone number and called and called. This should be and was handled by the principal in the school during school hours and she was banned from being inside the school.

Most parents don't know what is developmentally normal behavior and parents are way too emotional about their own child. Parent to parent contact should be minimized.

I work in a classroom and agree wholeheartedly. Parents only hear what comes from their child, they tend to minimize their own child’s role in any interactions, and they don’t know much about what is developmentally normal. I frequently see, for example, two kids messing around with each other all day and when one of them then slips and falls they tell their parent “David pushed me” and the parent comes in guns blazing against David, so to speak. Their assumption is usually that the other child started it.

This goes back to the point that OP doesn't actually know what happened. Never attack without a full set of facts.

PP, how did that parent get your number? That was inappropriate.
