[quote=Anonymous]DS was bullied throughout 3rd and 4th grade so we pulled him out of his private to try our well-regarded public. It hasn't gone well. Just before Christmas, he knocked out a tooth after a classmate tripped him. In March, the same classmate jokingly stuck his foot out again when DS walked by. DS shoved him and received a two-day suspension.

Since then, the bullying has gotten worse. There's a large group of kids who were thrilled to see the "smart kid" suspended, and they haven't let him forget about it. He routinely pretends to be sick in the morning or shows up in the office claiming to be sick and wanting to go home. Ped found nothing physically wrong with him. Counseling hasn't helped. His grades have rapidly dropped, and I've lost count of the unexcused tardies and absences this is causing. We've asked more than once that he and the ringleader who knocked out his tooth be separated, but the party line is, "They need to learn to get along."

Any advice? I'm at the end of my rope. [/quote]
