[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I left out was that we had a neuropsych eval done in 3rd, thinking maybe he had ASD. He doesn't - but he did test gifted. Smart, nerdy, shy, and unathletic was a nightmare in this particular cohort, so we felt justified in putting him in public. We were told this was the best choice for him academically.

Unfortunately, his public wouldn't accept his wisc results and required the cogat for placement, which he bombed, so he's not receiving any kind of academic enrichment here. Long story short, he resents us for promising a challenge and wants to go back to his private (where the bullying was BAD but never "loose a tooth bad). He never had behavioral issues there minus crying over the bullying.[/quote]

Lots of kids are bright in public without enrichment.  Why is this kid being bullied at multiple schools and why is he so violent.[/quote]

I don't know. He hadn't shown any signs of violence when we had the neuropsych eval done, so we weren't able to raise that concern then. He doesn't play video games, period (something he's teased about), so it's not something he picked up there. I don't know where he got the idea that shoving someone was ok - I would have rather he'd let himself be tripped again and lost another tooth, as horrible as that sounds. [/quote]

He may well have picked up pushing at school. It happens, especially on the playground or during soft start. It doesn’t always get caught or reported even if it does. [/quote]
Violence is a natural reaction to violence. If you get a situation where the bully's parents don't punish at home but the bullied does, the bullied is being taught learned helplessness, which is basically psychological torture.
