[quote=Anonymous]My DS is a young 7th grader (still 11). He has 13 even 14 year old classmates in his "hip" charter school, where  there is a lot of emphasis on  the importance of accepting everyone for who they are. The school also takes pride in calling  themselves an extended family where everyone feels safe and welcome.

On Friday afternoon, I came home and found my DS in tears. I thought something had happened with the DC CAS yet again (classmates had called him stupid and brainless because he was the last to finish the test),  but this time it was completely different.  It seems that students had been teasing him for a while saying that the Titanic sank because his momma was in it. I am 47, a size 16-18, 5'5, a big woman considered overweight, but not obese according to my BMI. I have seen  much bigger moms in the school. So when my DS finally tells, the teacher about the mean jokes, he just laughes and says it could not have happened because the Titanic sank 100 years ago, and that I don't seem to be over 100, or am I.  And  of course, to that comment, the class laughs more saying to my son that his momma is fat and old.

I emailed the principal and the academic coordinator on Friday afternoon, explaining briefly what had happened and asking them to look into this issue. It's been almost 4 days and I still have not heard from either lady. 
I do not want to let go. What's the best thing to do in order to get a reaction from administration.[/quote]
