[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From OP - I don't overuse the term bully and my kid is not lying. Why are PPs turning the tables like this? I guess it all gets handed down from parents.[/quote]

Sorry that's happening OP- if it were me, I would involve the principal at this point. Moving schools is drastic and difficult to know how it will play out.

I removed my son from a private school for bullying, but it was a long term sneaky, social bullying situation that the administration wanted to brush under the rug. We felt that eventually our DS was going to be counseled out as a "bad fit" because the school didn't want to risk alienating several sets of other parents by levying bullying accusations.

What I would say, is take it to the principal, and politely and directly tell him/her that it's been ongoing, you won't tolerate it, and will follow the district's bullying policy up to and including retaining legal counsel if it's not resolved. It's okay to be confrontational - the alternative is that your kid keeps getting bullied or you have to find a new school.

OP- you don't want to let this continue-- my DS suffered long term after effects from bullying. He has moderate social anxiety, is afraid that things will turn out "like his other school," and become extremely upset when kids are being "normal, MS mean" because of some ptsd from years of being chronically excluded, made fun of, and directly told that no one likes him.
