Today I got a text from her about my son saying that my son had been taunting Em. Saying Em's violin was annoying when they were on the bus earlier this week. Em was very upset and crying, etc. As I usually do, I said sorry and I'd talk to my son. Well...according to my son he said he thought that the sound of the school orchestra was annoying vs. the sound of the band. Like "I think the band sounds better than the orchestra. The orchestra sounds annoying." Not targeting Em specifically and just being a bit of a jerk but expressing his opinion (his sister plays the violin and he is NOT a fan. He doesn't do any kind of music). I do not find this a big deal given these kids have literally had 4 weeks of band/orchestra at this point and it's not like being a supreme violin player is a major part of Em's identity. She needs to toughen up and my son wasn't directing it at her anyway.[/quote]

OP, if you don’t think your son’s comments above could have been specifically intended to upset Emily in that context, you have some serious blinders on.[/quote]
