[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the insights and comments. I have mixed feelings about this. And while I agree gender shouldn't matter, something about him hitting a girl does sit uneasy with me. So, yes, we had a long conversation about it, and he got very upset. He said that this girl was bothering him all day, and wouldn't stop "choking him" in line. He said he told her to stop and she didn't. So he punched her. Ugh. I told him next time he should tell a teacher or other adult who is supervising. He said he tried to do that, but got yelled at for getting out of line.

At first, the school only notified me of the "incident." They too were surprised because it is very uncharacteristic of my son to behave that way. He is not a kid who has ever been in trouble or is physical at all.

When I picked him up, and he told me what happened, and I saw that he had red marks on his neck, I showed the school staff the red marks.  At that point, i was upset, because clearly she was hurting my kid! And then they called the girl's parents too. Apparently the girl does this type of thing a lot...she hides behind her small size but is the instigator.
