[quote=Anonymous]My middle school son has been bullied a lot at school mostly because of a motor tic. It didn’t go away with med changes. Counseling hasn’t helped much so far. We reported bullying many times. Whenever there were screenshots, those were sent in. Physical bullying was reported to LE when it occurred outside of school, and the school was notified afterwards, because other students were involved as participants or bystanders. I was really shocked recently when I requested some paperwork from the school. Instead of addressing bullying, incidents of bullying were referred to as perceived bullying.  My son and his parents (us) were described as perceiving that he is being bullied. This is a small district and we complained about the bullying to the superintendent and got a short generic kind of response back. My son has said not to bother moving the complaint process a level up because he thinks it won’t fix anything.
Schools are supposed to be teaching students about accountability but they won’t take any responsibility for their own actions or for inaction when there are complaints about bullying.[/quote]
