[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD (6th) hadn't heard about the taser but she did mention a kid breaking a window and says this kid is always in trouble (they went to the same ES so she has known him for awhile).  She also has a class with the kid who was bullied and hadn't heard about the incident, but made it seem like that kid was a big troublemaker and was known for outbursts and also using bad language (racial/ethnic slurs).  Not sure if that was after the incident in the news but it did make me wonder if there was more to that bullying story.  [/quote]

Are you saying the child on the spectrum is a "big troublemaker" and you are questioning that he was bullied into saying a word that rhymes with vinegar? I would take what your child had heard through the grape vine with a grain of salt.[/quote]

Quoted PP here, my child actually has class with the boy so it isn't exactly the grapevine.  I wasn't sure from DD's story if the incident was from before or after the bullying.  I did talk to her though about trying to be more understanding and realizing that he faces challenges due to special needs and isn't acting out "on purpose".  I think it can be hard for kids to differentiate between kids who are just badly behaved and those who have some kind of issue going on.  When everyone is in class together and nobody is "labelled" - for obvious reasons - the kids may not know who has special needs per se.  [/quote]
