I've gotten a lot of books on bullying lately, and all give the same advise. If you are being bullied tell an adult. What good does that do if adults aren't stepping up and helping these kids. What tools am I suppose to give my kids against these kinds of acts. How are we "Stomping Out Bullying" if we make the bullied kid feel like the problem? <br />My son has had a few problems (not like this) where he was hit by another student, and when he took up for himself and told the kid he was mean. My son, was punished for name calling. Really?! I just reinforced at home that was the right thing, and that you should tell the teacher why you said it. <br />The worst part is , this is elem. school, it only going to get worse.<br />Also, I think that bus driver needs to be fired. I am able to drive my son to school, but he rides the bus everyday, because he enjoys it. The bus driver everyday, tells him where he can sit (kids more his age)and haves him near the front since he's only in kindergarten. She is the best driver ever. Knows all the kids name, watches out for them, talks to me every morning, and even does special things for them on the holiday. So, I know that bus drivers don't have to be complete jerks to do that job, and your nephews driver could have easily gotten him a front seat without going out of his way.<br /><br />I hope everything works out. I feel for your sister and nephew on this. It's not fair, he gets punished for being bullying.Sarahttp://facebook.com/sara.r.morannoreply@blogger.com
