[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents, if your child’s teacher suggests that there is an issue with your child’s behavior or academic progress, please know that their only agenda is to help your child thrive and grow. Your child’s teacher has probably worked with hundreds of students at the same developmental phase and knows when something is unusual. I understand that it can be painful and scary to hear, but denial does not help your child. The longer you wait to get them help the more they will struggle. This also applies when the teacher tells you your child is not kind to others. The teacher is definitely working to support their social development in the classroom, but your denial makes it nearly impossible for them to progress (after all, their behavior usually communicates what THEY experience at home usually). Your mean kid is not “a leader of the pack” they’re a bully. And your child on the spectrum is not only “a loner genius”, they’re autistic. And your child who is getting picked on is not always “an innocent victim” they usually need to learn how to NOT be a victim. The teacher’s agenda is usually the same as yours-the well-being and growth of your child. But please trust their experience.[/quote]

I haven’t read through all the comments, but OP you sound like a wonderful teacher. I would love for my kid to have an educator like you who is not afraid to have hard conversations in order to help their students.[/quote]

Except she said victims had to change so they weren't bullied. Well if they could do that, they would!!! So even though OP makes some good points, I reject their statement based on this incredibly insensitive, ignorant and damaging belief. OP deserves to be excoriated and does not belong in the classroom or anywhere near children if they think victims are at fault.[/quote]

OP here. Of COURSE victims of bullying are not at fault. But they don’t have to remain victims. This thread has truly jumped the shark.[/quote]
