[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and so tired of this BS and PPs willing to bend over backwards to explain why it’s not actually a big deal that a boy is engaging in continued, unwanted physical contact with a girl. We went through this during two separate years with my DD and two separate boys at her school. It was ridiculous how much documentation and contact with the school it took for them to even engage in separating the boys from my DD. We were blown off in many ways, always with the implication that DD was exaggerating or needed to differentiate between big problems and little problems or that she was overreacting.

It took a ton of emails and DH going in to school and asking for meetings for the school to finally intervene.

[b]OP, schools respond differently to moms than dads. Send your DH in if you can.[/b] And make sure every contact and incident is documented by email to both the classroom teacher and his or her entire chain of command. We found out the hard way that my DD’s classroom teacher had been advocating for discipline for DD’s harasser but it was being ignored by the school administration. It wasn’t until we involved all of the teacher’s supervisors (and read them the riot act) that they took my DD and her teacher’s complaints about the problem boy seriously.

And boy parents, don’t blow off these complaints and run into school whining about discipline and covid challenges and boys being boys. My Dd is one of many on this board who appear to have full parental permission to kick these boys in the jellybeans.[/quote]

And FWIW my own DD (who has 2 brothers close in age, including a twin brother) at that age would’ve given the boy a tongue lashing first- and if that didn’t work- a swift kick for sure. If the school would call me and complain, she’d get a high 5 and ice cream. Teach your girls to stand up for themselves. [/quote]
