[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this will be an unpopular comment, but it is meant with the best intent. What kind I ridicule is he going to face for 1) being beat up by a first grader?  2) tattling?  3) having his mom get involved?  I would be mad too, but unless you've heard of bullying problems, or discipline problems at the school, I would tell the administrator of your upset, but let it go other than that. [/quote]

This is ridiculous. The issue to me isn't even the punching--the older boys who instigated this need to be dealt with. They are bullies, and the next incident could escalate. And, of course, because we teach our kids not to "tattle," (which just means we teach them to lie), and we teach our boys to man up, then the natrual response is to let it go. Infuriating.

I feel bad for your son, OP, but I also feel bad for the first grader who felt intimidated enough to follow the orders of much larger boys. This needs to be handled immediately. The school needs to talk to the older kids who did this and get it under control.

Any other suggestion is outdated thinking that allows this shit to continue to happen unchecked.[/quote]
