[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you should expect more from a private school than this.  If this were me, I'd have the names of the other kids in hand (along with the names of your DC's friends who have witnessed these events) and would be in the head of school's office bright and early, demanding action.

This! It's awful that your son is going through this. I know it's hard because you don't want to be "that" parent, but stick up for your child no matter what. I think if more parents were willing to be "that" parent, schools would get their act together a bit more and be more responsive to bullying. This shouldn't be tolerated! The "wait and see" method is stupid and doesn't solve anything, and the poor bullied child is the one who suffers through all of this, yet schools seem more concerned about not offending the bully! I'm personally tired of it.[/quote]

There are few things that schools want to be known for less these days than fostering or permitting a bullying atmosphere.  You need to be vocal about this--with the administration at the highest level, then with the school's parent organization, and if those don't work, go for the jugular--with the school's accreditation source or social media/school review sites.  Do not be passive here.  You don't have to scream and yell, but you do have to be persistent and unwavering and unafraid to express yourself calmly and in no uncertain terms.  Protect your kid.
