[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with the additional details, something still feels off.  Frankly, shy smart kids generally aren't bullied from what I've seen.  They stay out of the way and may be lonely or unhappy (which obviously isn't good!) but they aren't typically the kids who are picked on.  And in 2nd grade teachers are usually really on top of the new kid and would be protective and looking out for bullying.

So... as others have said... I think you need to figure out what else is going on.  There is something about his social interactions that are making him a target.  Maybe it's autism, maybe he thinks he's so much smarter than the other kids and points that out to them all the time, maybe it's ADHD, or maybe he's just a jerk.  None of us know that.  You may not even know that.  But something's going on that doesn't sound typical.

I'm so sorry you are both going through this.  I know how hard it is to watch your kid struggle.[/quote]

OP’s son is in upper elementary, not 2nd grade. Sounds like autism was tested for and ruled out. [/quote]
