How on earth are those of you with the diagnosed children dealing with the in school bullying? The reactions of the school systems seem to vary. The situation my son has wound up in has left me sick. he dreads school , hates physical education ( that is where bullying is the worst) and worse yet the school does nothing about it.
Oh yeah they have the rote program that they tell the kids what bullying is and that the kids should be kind and that is more or less where it ends . The kids are so cruel.
My son met his bully while playing for the junior basketball team. The kids on the team did not hit it off but one boy was really out to get my son.After the season was over , the boy went down on my son while my son was changing his clothing while another child stole his gym locker lock. --my son was devastated --but he was afraid to tell anyone and waited 2 days to tell anyone. the schools reaction was to tell the boys to keep away from each other. ( there is a charge of sexual harrassment in there) meanwhile while my son is covered by an individualized education plan the p.e. teacher told my son he could change his clothing in a closet. and the kid instructs his girlfriend to harrass my son--she made a pass at him! I complained and naturally she said my son misunderstand the girl --fast forward a few months and my son begins a new school year and the kid sneaks up on him and sits beside him saying to the teacher that he needed to move forward so he could see the board. I emailed the teacher as soon as my son told me --then i called the boys mother and she threatened to call the police if i ever called her again--all i did was tell her that i did not want her son to even look at my son. The school did the same thing again this year told the boys not to talk to each other.
the phys.ed teacher singles my son out and the boys in his class snicker and point fingers when a new skill is demonstrated. of course the school placed him with the basketball team for physical education.
I complained to the state i live in - the school defended its bullying program. they defended the list of allegations that i made and they accused me of violating ferpa laws with my complaint --my sons name was not even mentioned.
the local support groups are in favor of home schooling they say these kids internalize the garbage that goes on in school and bring it home to mom--say homeschool these kids . it is the only solution . but my son doesn't understand and is not in favor of homeschooling.
