Yes it’s always proper to take it out on kids when you’re mad at the parents. 🙄[/quote]

Sorry. Those are the rules in private school. We’re at different ones but you cannot berate or discipline another child and expect to stay. In fact if my child had been attacked and berated by another parent I would expect the school to remove the parents from the community. Imagine the chaos that ensues if parents feel empowered to take disciplining other kids into their own hands.

One of my children endured physical bullying resulting in bruises and cuts. Believe me, I understand the impulse to discipline the other child especially if the school is not responding fast enough. It’s still unacceptable. [/quote]

Do we know the parents did this?  
I agree.  Parents have no right to attack another child, even if that child is a bully.

As a teacher, I don't think it ever happened in my class--though there were certainly parents who threatened and wanted to do it.  I assured them I would handle it.  And, I did.  It's not easy.

In this case, we don't know what happened.  I kind of doubt Nysmith talked to the other kids, though. [/quote]
