[quote=Anonymous]Bullying is a serious issue and being bullied at 5 is unimaginable to me.  I can tolerate a lot of crap, but when it comes to bullying, I just get angry - and like who the hell are these parents who have children that bully?  If I caught my child making fun of of another child or being mean (as 5 years olds can be), I'd make sure he'd have some serious consequences.  I once observed my very social and accepting 5 yr. old poking another child while waiting in line to jump of the diving board.  Not hard, more in a jovial sort of way, but I asked later as we were walking back to the car as to why he was poking (and I had a good enough idea as to why).  He said the boy looked different (the boy had DS) and I can tell you since that day, we've had conversations about that incident every day since - I was so appalled, mortified is more like it, and I very much stressed as to why we were all created equally, feelings, so and so forth. It happens and since I have a rambunctious boy, I always have one eye on him even though he is typically kind and empathetic.

We're zoned with an excellent public ES, but decided to send our child to a parochial parish school instead, starting this year for K.  I can tell you that his school has ZERO tolerance for bullying.

I just met a family who left the ACPS, Charles Barrett, and their children are now at the same parish school.  Very little discipline and lack of control are the why they finally left.

OP - If you don't get the response you feel is appropriate from the counselor, go to the principal.  You are your child's advocate.  [/quote]
