[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again, to the PPs talking about bully labeling and whether the school is the right fit - I don't necessarily disagree. I will be giving it more time, he has only been there a month or so, and seeing if there are any other issues.

The teacher is quite sweet, and she seems to be my son's favorite. Specifically she did say he was "bullying" rather than saying that he was "a bully", and I do believe there is a difference there. I won't keep dwelling on the label itself but the behaviors, which are inappropriate regardless of the label.

Thanks to all of you for sound advice, I appreciate it.[/quote]

Pp with a son like yours again.  I think the key is that it shows a lack of understanding about whether she's aware that there may be underlying issues.  I know it's mostly semantics, but bullying implies a mean intent, understanding that one's hurting feelings, etc.  My son's teachers have told me many times that they understand that he isn't a 'bad kid' and isn't doing any of this maliciously.  That's an important distinction to make.[/quote]
