[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. I would have given my child a talking to for slugging the other kid. At school they learn the appropriate steps for dealing with a bully, and hitting back is not one of them. At our school anyway, they are supposed to first firmly tell them to stop, then move away from the bully, then tell a teacher.

This is not a dark alley where someone is threatening their life and they have to fight back -- this is a soccer field. They need to learn to deal with frustration and anger and bullies in a more productive way. [/quote]

You are speaking as if telling a teacher solves things, but if you read the op, her son DID that and it didn't help. Your post doesn't address what the victim is supposed to do after following your steps when they don't work.[/quote]

Point taken. This was a real fail on the part of the coach, who should have stepped up once it was clear this was going on. I still wouldn't give the kid a high 5 for hitting back. He can always walk away. [/quote]
