[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That 3rd grader was verbally attacked. Just because your kindergartner apologized doesn't mean the 3rd grader has to accept the apology. This is a good lesson for your kid - some things hurt people REALLY deeply. And some things you can't just apologize away. From now on, he needs to come ask what things mean before repeating them lest this happen again. It's a harsh lesson, but so is life.

The 3rd grader was verbally attacked and is now recounting what happened. You're asking an 8 or 9 yr old to have grace because your son who made a mistake is 5 or 6. But he's not required to. It's okay for a 3rd grader to be hurt and to tell people about it.[/quote]

The 3rd grader needs to understand that the kindergartner apologized. it was discussed and that doesn’t mean that he now has license to call him names.

What was said anyway?    I hate when people post with no details.   What was the word? [/quote]

I believe OP said it wasn’t the N word, but yes, I think some more detail would be helpful [/quote]

Not the N word. The child is Asian American. He made an offensive comment. [/quote]
