[quote=Anonymous]My son just started K and rides the bus for a while (since he's in a language immersion program). The first week he told me about a boy that was calling him names but I chalked it up as kids just being kids. My son was super excited to start school and ride the bus. He's a pretty friendly and mature kid so I imagine he introduced himself to these kids.

Anyway a month into school I get a call from the AP. The boy he mentioned the first week told her my son stuck up his middle finger. After she spoke with the bus driver she realized it was not my son starting problems but this 5th grade boy. I know his parents have been spoken to about this situation and I believe it's happened before in other years. And the bus driver also spoke to me after the incident.

Anyway, I decided not to keep asking my so. about his bus experience because every time I asked he would say "I don't want to talk about it" and my husband didn't want to make it a biggger issue. Well this week I heard more from my son about the kid telling him to shut up and I hate you. So I decided to drop my son off at this boys bus stop just to see who this kid was. I used it as an opportunity to talk with him politely and made it like my son was a little kid and I was sorry if he was bothering him. I told him to have a great day and they left.

I followed with an email to the school. And my son came home saying that morning the boy bullied him. My cheery 5 year old has not had behavior issues and is a pretty mature kid.... but he doesn't even want to go to school anymore because of his bus ride. I haven't heard from the AP yet but I'm tempted to take my son to school today and speak to them in person.

Anyone dealt with bus bullies? How did it get resolved? [/quote]
