[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want to break up the friendship because you’re afraid that your kid will get SN-cooties, and you’re mad that the school isn’t facilitating that. Got it. [/quote] OP here- I usually don’t respond to idiot trolls but, since I’ve watered it down to a polite PC narrative, let me be explicit now. The parents were contacted today because the child was throwing objects in the classroom and would not stop and had to be physically restrained by school staff. He needs legitimate help and I feel bad for the school because I appreciate that their hands are tied but my child is my priority and while I in no way will cut off the friendship but I will also not allow my child to be used as a crutch or de facto aide or incentive for this dysfunctional kid whose parents are not taking meaningful steps to begin to address his issues. [/quote] Advocate for your child. While honestly I cringed at some of what you wrote, I can sort of relate. My kids was used as a behaviour model and was separated from all close friends a few years ago, by being placed in a class with no close friends. This school always insists all children will be paired with a buddy; when that didn't happen I inquired and was told it was because they were a behaviour model in the special needs class, like an honor kind of. So I let it be. Without getting into detail, my child had anxiety attacks due to bullying in the classroom and isolation from friends. I wish I had listened to my gut. [/quote]
