[quote=Anonymous][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.[b] Your post doesn't address what the victim is supposed to do after following your steps when they don't work[/b].[/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]

Let's see. The coach failed to protect him. [b]You failed to protect him [/b]and as a result he protected himself and as a result, you are upset with his behavior.  Hell, doormats get more respect at my house...[/quote]
