[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher perspective, having worked at a private and now at public: we’ve tried everything on our end and we can’t get the student to stop doing whatever the difficult thing is. All we can do is send them to the office, and in the office they call parents. We need your help to make it stop and we’re grasping at straws. We want to inconvenience you enough that you make a big deal out of it so maybe the kid finally quits doing whatever the thing is that’s offensive. [/quote]

Parent perspective: as the parent of the child who is being picked on, harassed, and constantly name-called by a kid like OP's, the school has suggested that they can't take action unless I document the incidents. So every day/week/whatever I send an email to the teacher and the division head describing incidents that happened. They have been trying to discipline the child involved for 3 years but the mealymouthed student handbook doesn't allow the kind of discipline that might be effective until 5th grade. For now, all they can do is hope that it escalates to the point that they can take action based on higher-level offenses in the handbook, or that the parents will get the message and make an appointment to come into school and discuss the current behavioral plan and what modifications might motivated their child to quit behaving like a little poopface.

Read between the lines and set up an in-person meeting at school. [/quote]
