[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would probably go just because I’d be curious as to what they have to say, but that’s just me.  I’d also keep my own mouth shut and not saying anything more than some sort of non-committal generalities.  [/quote]

I would be curious too.

When my children have been bullied in the past, I have really only had their word to go on, and I’ve wondered how they were contributing to the situation.  Both times this happened, I met with the other parents, heard their perspective, and recognized that these were not reasonable people and my child was not at fault.  
Once was a little boy who was threatening my son.  Met his parents, and they were rude and threatening and had no insight into why their child was wrong.  
The other was a little girl who was encouraging all of the irks in the class not to talk to my daughter.  I thought that maybe my daughter had gotten into an argument with this girl and was exaggerating.  During this meeting, the girls’ mom mentioned that she was prom queen and her husband was a prominent attorney, then told me that some people just know how to make friends (like her child) and some just don’t.  Again, no insight that her child’s behavior was not okay.

Anyway, I found it very helpful to get a better understanding of the situation and to advocate for my child.
