So what would you do if this was your child? Did we make the right choice by taking him out of the school. I know the parents of the other child which has really made the whole situation worse. I am sitting here hoping the school expels their child. I am angry and upset and I just wish the whole thing hadn't started but you can't change the past. I just hope this doesn't scar him in more ways then one.

School drama
My son attends a lovely private school in our small town. He is in the Kindergarten and in the class with the other two - three year olds. Since his first day of school on the 11 Jan he has had problems with another boy at the school. This boy is a few months younger then him. The child started poking all the other kids in the eye from the first day. The other children have learnt to stay far away from this boy but Ewan is such a friendly little soul that he wants to stay and be friends. He doesn't fight back but just bursts into tears when the little boy hurts him. On Friday the child tried to gouge his left eye out. The mark wasn't bad and we decided to see what happend this week. Yesterday he tried to gouge Ewan's left eye out and this time it was really serious. We can't ignore the problem anymore. The teachers are apparently desperate as this boy tries to pull dolls eyes out and basically hurts anything he can. I don't want Ewan's eyes to be damaged and I don't want him to hate and fear school. Yesterday I met with the principal of the Kindergarten and then Andrew and I spoke to the principal of the school. We have decided to remove Ewan from the school until the situation is resolved. I really don't know what to do. This is not how I saw Ewan's school years starting.

WhatBdid the school do about the situation? I would not have taken my child out but would have demanded that the other child be expelled.
ReplyDeleteI always believe that we have to help our children with problems like this! You need to do everything in your power to get this situation resolved! Even if it means taking him out of school for a while...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't back down from the Principal or School Board as well! It is not you who are the problem, and they should address the boy/problem accordingly!
Thanks Karen. I wish they would address the situation properly but apparently attacking me for posting on a page that is private(I understand a blog isn't private) but my FB page should only be seen by friends. That's what really hurts now is that someone I know felt that they should get the school involved.
