[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with letting the school counselor know. Make sure they know you’re trying to get the kid in trouble, just trying to see if the school can help since he’s clearly not responding to social cues. Don’t tell the kids you’re calling, tell the counselor that your child doesn’t know and to please not bring it up with him. [/quote]

Definitely tell the school.  Try to be sensitive.  If this kid has social issues (it seems so), the parent may too, and the parent may try to force the issue.  I know someone who tried to let the kid down easy, and very nicely, but the kid wouldn't take no for an answer and their mom tried to make it a million times worse.  To add to it, the mom is in PR - so you can imagine the spin she tried to put on it to the school! Now the mom and the kid are on the school's radar. The school knows damn well what is happening, and it turns out that the kid has anger issues, on top of the social skills thing.

I hope this kid's mom doesn't ruin it for him like the kid I am talking about, OP. I hope someone teaches the kid what he should know by now. It strikes me as sad, because sometimes the parents make things worse.[/quote]
