[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nowadays, you get in trouble if you defend yourself from someone who attacks you.

This is totally insane and makes no sense, but that's the situation.

This is one of the reasons why adults in charge need to get off their behind and enforce rules and consequences.[/quote]

Bullshit.  A kid isn't going to defend himself if physically attacked.  Also, if a kid is physically attacked they should be able to defend themselves- adults aren't always around to intervene, especially if it happens off school grounds.  Unless your MS kid won't be allowed to go somewhere besides home and school unsupervised.

Back to the OP's example- his WATER BOTTLE was knocked over a couple times.  No physical altercations, no threats, no actual bullying.  These small disputes are when kids need to resolve themselves instead of running to an adult every time.  Because if your kid always complaining about how Little Johnny kicked over his water bottle, it diminishes instances of REAL bullying and threatening behavior.  How is this so hard to understand?  Do you honestly think teachers just sit on their ass all day?  That's a pathetic mindset to have- I hope you don't share it with your kids- its sure to encourage them to respect their teachers.
