Last year, my youngest son was bullied by a very disturbed young boy. To condense this story, the boy threatened my son's life twice, the second time, very graphically by saying he was going to shove his thumbs into my son's eye sockets and hit his brain. The school was responsive in the way that they assigned a yard duty teacher to my son and they gave the kid in school suspension for the second threat.
Well, school starts tomorrow and I emailed the principal to ensure that my son is not in the same class with this boy. I should tell all of you that this child has caused my son a great deal of distress and he is in therapy because of all of this. Well, it looks like the school forgot about this issue when assigning classes because the principal wants to meet with me today. I am hoping and praying that he will present some sort of solution that doesn't entail my son being in the same class with this kid. I just don't see my son participating in class in a meaningful way if he is in a state of high anxiety.
The thing that really gets me is that this kid has threatened several kids, bullied a few kids, and is a behavioral problem for the school. Why is he still around?
So I would like to ask for dust please. Hopefully I will be presented with a GOOD solution and I won't be put in the position to have to fight for my son (again.)
