Try to figure out a way to handle it now. Cooper is 10Xs worse and a lot of it happens online. The school really cannot do anything to stop it. So many parents have just given up.

Here is a large part of why they do nothing:

We have this at our school also. The one absolutely egregious bully was let go after her 3 year probationary period of whatever it was, which was a huge relief. Unfortunately there's still at least one teacher who thinks effective classroom management is yelling at the kids who care until they're regularly in tears.

As far as kid-on-kid bullying, the administration has sort of attempting to do something, but it's all so ineffective they might as well have done nothing.

Which grade? Did you contact the classroom teacher?

Are you talking specifically about pulling a kid out of Churchill or just not sending a kid there?

Your best bet is to ask them to move your student to another class. The school is under the obligation to protect both students which causes a lot of trouble in these situations.

At our school, one teacher is actually a bully to her students.
