You tell them that they better get this under control before the police get involved. Bullying is serious.
Believe me they don't want the police involved

If I did that, I would be forced to leave the school. Just trying to get through the next couple years (our school is K-8th).
I don't know, other parents have done it. I'm real mama bear, though, and will rock the boat if pushed to but that's me.

Why are you PAYING to send your kids to a school where the teachers & principal are ignoring your valid complaints?
Because the choices of private schools here is pretty slim........at least Lutheran ones and I don't want to yank them to try out another school that may be worse. DS9 LOVES his school. DS12 has been begging me to go to public school for years. I told him he can go to public HS so he has to wait a couple years. I can honestly see my kids going to two different HS's. DS9 will prolly want to go to the Lutheran HS.
I've had a couple problems with the school yes, but it isn't all the time. The situation with my ADHD son and his teacher eventually got better. I'm hoping the same with this situation.

I agree with Laurie, why does your 12 yo need to wait?
He's the one who wants to try public school.
The school he's attending now is not only ignoring his needs but blowing off his mother as well. There is NO excuse for the teachers & principal to ignore valid concerns of parents in a private school. You are paying their salaries. There is no union protecting their jobs like public school, no grievance procedure against the teachers or principal either, I'm guessing.
What is the supposed value that your ds is getting that is better than what is in public school? What is the purpose of a private church affiliated school? That you can be a bully & get away with it if your dad is the pastor?
That sucks mrsmom! I'm sorry to hear it. I was bullied HORRIBLY by kids as I was so shy and had an eye that was "different" looking...I've been blind in one eye since I was 2 so I have no pupil(at least it looks like there isn't one) in my eye. My best advice honestly to your son is to make fun of those kids back. I know some people will disagree w/me on this but kids feed off of how upset you're getting over it. It wasn't 'til I stood up to some of those ****es(this was in HS) that they quit picking on me. Once I called them out on their **** they acted like I was their best friend every time I would see them after that. I know this can be tough to do for a young kid but it is still IMO anyway the best thing they can do. Maybe he can turn it around by telling that kid he is "a boob" or something like that. Or just say something like: "who cares if you call me fat or man boob or whatever, so what, I don't care" I TRULY know how he feels and it can be so horrible...HUGS to your boy.
My son has been telling me for a while now that some kids have been picking on him saying he's fat and has man boobs. He said he tells the teacher, but he doesn't do anything. So today after school I talked to the teacher (with my son).
Yup............he gave me every excuse in the book from "Kids will be kids" to "that doesn't sound like so and so" to "a 12 year calling someone fat usually isn't meant personally" :faint:
I said "WHAT?! There's no two ways to take that!" He said for adults yeah, but to kids it's not always mean. Ok pal look at my son standing there crying and tell me again it's not mean!!!hreally: :gah: :ranting:
So we get in the car and my son said "See! I told you he doesn't take it seriously!" I said yeah. :surrender::surrender::surrender:
I swear to God if that little ****er doesn't leave my son alone soon, I'll take him aside in the hallway my **** self and tell him what's what!!!

Many years ago, my neighbor's daughter (a third grader) went to a Catholic elementary school. She was really petite compare to other kids in her class. In her school, there was a seating chart for every class, so she had to sit according to the seating chart. The boy who sat behind her was one head taller than her and almost twice her weight. This boy would pull her ponytail every single day and it really bothered her a lot. She kept telling the boy not to do, but without any success. One day, her teacher was writing on the blackboard giving her back to the class. For some reason, the boy was standing up. She saw her chance, and she pushed the boy down, but the teacher didn't see it happening. The boy even cried and complained to the teacher. The teacher didn't believe the boy since he was so much bigger than the girl. Anyway, the boy stopped pulling her ponytail and the other kids dared not mess with her afterward. Problem solved.
I am not suggesting your ds to do the same. This is how one third grader solved her problem.

They all protect their own in private and public schools. Unfortunately, I have had lots of experience with this. If the teacher does not put a stop to it pretty darn quick (within a week or so) I would write a short letter to teacher and cc the principal. Either by snail mail or email just to document the complaint. Then if nothing gets resolved, contact the parents directly and tell them you are concerned because your son is seriously taking these comments to heart and very upset. Try not to let them know you want to rip their kids head off.
I had to ring a parents doorbell after 3 years of bullying and trying to intervene with the schools help. After 3 minutes of speaking with the father the problem was resolved. The look on his face told me he had NO idea. The school never contacted him. I think he beat the #$% out of the little ****er. The upside, the kid turned out to be a better person in the end. Problem solved....off ya go.

My coworker had a friend come in and visit her tonight(at work) I dont know they guy, but he was nice and I joked a bit with him. He left and apparently sent her a text saying that he thought I was cute :O She said he had to behave because I am very married! He said he noticed my rings and would be nice, but I was still cute :O
That is one way to make a girl's self esteem go up! I havent been called cute in a long time
