[quote=Anonymous]My son was bullied in ES and I found that our ES was not very responsive or competent in dealing with it - at least not until I told the principal in no uncertain terms that I was no longer reporting to them.  I would take all future events to the police and insist on pressing charges.  I expected that all of my kids would be kept safe while they were in the school's care.  It was a wake up call to the school and all of a sudden, things improved.

But, as far as thoughts, I would force the school to deal with it.  Don't talk to the kids or the kids' parents.  Keep a record.  Fill out the bullying form if your school has one.  Encourage your child to stay away from the kids who are violent rather than befriending them.  And, always listen and support and protect your child, as you obviously are.  don't let them blame your child.  Don't accept lunch bunch or meetings with the guidance counselor and the kids because it means they are saying your child is at fault.  He is immature or lacks social skills or whatever.

Our MS handles bullying well and here's what they do.  First offense- parents get called.  Second offense - kid is suspended until parent comes in for parent meeting.  Third offense - both families are called into a meeting.  Fourth offense - expulsion.

I would not be happy with a meeting between the kids and the counselor.  The perpetrators should be disciplined.  It's not a talking event.

Good luck.  This breaks my heart to hear.  My son was bullied all the way through ES.  It stopped in MS because of the zero tolerence of the MS and he changed into an amazing, confident and competent kid. [/quote]
