Just in general, the ask of the PTA pres. may open your family up to gossip. Our PTA loved our principal. |

I think his trying to have sex with his teachers did not have any correlation with bullying the kids. |

We all understood the similarity between keeping quiet in the face of misuse of power. All of us except you, that is. |

| Is there anyone at school who may have had a similar experience? Would you be able to speak with the AP? Does your child's teacher recognize any changes when your child returns from the principal's office? How many times has this occurred? |

Why are you here insulting anonymous posters? Is your real life that sad and empty that this is where you go to socialize and the only way you can do it is by being a twat? |

Are you a crappy principal? They were responding to an insult with a better insult. Calm your "jets" If you take a message board this seriously maybe you shouldn't come back after break. |

Very true. The same goes with other school admins especially if they are LGBTQ. |

Are they actually bullying your kid, or have you failed to teach your kid appropriate behavior so they’re acting in a way that prevents other kids from learning and the principal is holding you and your kid accountable for this?
Because my kid follows school rules, so I can’t think of any reason in which he would be in a position in which the principal *could* bully him. |

Why do you need to even get someone else involved? Go confront the "bully" directly. Make an appointment to speak with the principal, inform them that you'll be recording the exchange, speak your piece and get to the heart of it. You shouldn't start with cannons. You'll look unhinged. Go talk to the adult like an adult. If what you want is for the behavior to stop, that should do it. If you're going to move schools regardless, just do that and be done with it. But if you want to stay at the school, put the principal on notice directly by making it clear that you're aware of whatever's going on, and willing to discuss it, if necessary, with whomever might be necessary to contact. If they decide to continue their behavior after the initial confrontation, well, take the recording and blast them all the way up the chain. But when it comes to defending my kid? Y'all are gonna need to deal with me first, and that's usually enough. |
