[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting contrast between this thread and the other active thread:

Here:  They're assholes, they should apologize (but they may not know your child).

Other thread:  I am not discussing my child at all!  [/quote]

FWIW, I am the special needs parent on the other thread who doesn't discuss my kid with other parents (unless they also have SN kids too or I know/trust them.)  If my child were being bullied I would not expect an apology from other parents because I know that apologies are completely useless.  I would expect the SCHOOL to address the issue.  [b]I would love it if the other parents approached me collaboratively to discuss ways to address bullying [/b]and especially to try to get more resources from the school, but I understand that is not likely to happen, so I would not expect it.

So you'd be happy to discuss their child's bullying, but not your own child's behavior?  [/quote]

If it was my SN kid's behavior? I might be willing with the right parent in the right setting to talk about it if I thought it was in any ways going to be productive. But that's rare and never happened in my experience.  In fact the opposite is true -- I reached out with apologies and got ignored.  So that was that.

My ultimate point is that if my kid has a problem (or is causing a problem) in school, I expect the school to address it.  Beefs or ritualistic apologies between parents aren't going to help.  [/quote]
