First thing is to take your child out of that school and enroll him in another school or pvt. school or home school, until the matter is resolved.\nHire a lawyer. File a civil suit against the district. Contact the Police department and file a report of abuse on the teacher and principal. Make sure to get the case number of the report filed from the officer who writes the report.

Have you told someone in the school who have authority to stop him from bothering you? Did you tell him that you don't want to be bothered? If you did that, and things haven't changed, then make a complaint to the big office. If he haven't stopped after that, then I suggest you call the cops. But let him know that if he doesn't stop bothering you, then your going to get him into trouble.

If your son was left alone in school with no supervision you should write a letter of complaint to the Director of Education at your local authority.\n\nIf you need help doing this, go to a Citizen's Advice Bureau  - link below to help you find a local one. The CAB should also be able to offer advice on what you should do and what your legal rights are.\n\nIf you have a social worker you should talk to him/her about it too.\n\nI hope things work out ok for you and your son.

Tell your parents.  Your parents should then go to the principal of your school.  What your teacher is doing is considered child abuse and she should lose her teaching certification permanently.

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

You don't deserve to be treated that way. You need to have a talk with your parents or with a school counselor. It is pretty bad and pretty scary that the school principal does not want to do anything about. \n\nIt sounds like this guy is pretty immature and he does need to be taken care of, if he is treating you that way imagine how he will treat other people. \n\nTalk to your parents and let them know that the school principal is not doing anything about it . That is very wrong.

My heart goes out to you and, I must say I am surprised by the lack of support you got from the school. I certainly wouldn't let this matter drop - ask for another appointment with the Head and tell them your grave concerns; then, if nothing happens, contact the Local Authority and speak to the Attendance Officer.\n(All these unauthorised absences are not going to cast a very favourable light on the school!)\nFinally please don't give up on the idea of custordy - speak to Social Services (it would help if you had an accurate log of absences and lateness - this the school is obliged to give you) to see if they can support your claim for this child.\nGood luck.

I went through a very similar situation and after months of being told by the teacher and the principal that there must be a problem at home, I found out another child was having the same problems mine was.  The other mom and I got together and came up with a plan.  We each got our child to tell us why the other child was having so much trouble.\n\nTurned out there was another child in the class bullying and intimidating ours so badly that there were days they spent all their time huddled under their desks.  \n\nWhile I still could not get the school to admit to a problem, I did find a sympathetic vice principal who allowed my child access to her office at any time he felt he could not handle being in the class anymore.  \n\nIt wasn't the perfect solution but it got us to the end of that school year and I made sure I had some say in what class he went into the next year.  Things improved after that.  \n\nIf you truly are not having discipline problems at home and the only place there really seems to be a problem is at school, then I would be looking very hard at why there is a problem at school.  Don't take the teacher's word for anything...that teacher may very well be the problem.  Talk to other parents and find out if anyone else is going through something similar to what you are.  Make sure your child understands that you know there is a problem and you are doing your best to help.  Let him know he has you on his side.  \n\nGood luck.  Sure would like to know the outcome of this one.

Have her talk to someone at her school (teacher, counselor, etc.) -- they have to take action if she reports abuse. Separately, she can call child protective services or, for an emergency situation, the police.

Sounds borderline illegal.  Talk to the principal, if he doesnt help, go to the super intendent or school board.

This exact same thing happened to me when I was in junior high.  I didn't report him to anyone myself, but I told my best friend.  And because she cared so much about me, she reported it to the counselor's for me and it was taken care of.  His parents were called, my mom was called, everyone had a meeting, and he was suspended from the school.  I don't know if your case is as extreme as mine was, but the best piece of advice I can give you is report it to someone you trust.

call the school psychologist, or the district psychologist. they have a certain amount of days to respond, and provide testing once the request is made...you might have to fill out a request for testing form...make copies of everything you give out. do some research for your state/county on what the laws are regarding educational testing. document any/all phone calls and follow up verbal requests with written requests. don't forget to also call the school superintendent if you need to. i've worked in spec. ed for many years, and raised a special needs child...i've literally had to take the district to court (several times) for failing to provide my son with the educational assistance/tools that were written into his i.e.p. (individualized educational plan). there are also advocacy groups, and parent coordinators through the mental health system, in most counties.\nin my experience, school districts can be very non-parent friendly. you may come up against officials who say there is no money for testing your child, etc...they are not above trying to make a parent feel guilty either...don't buy into it. nobody cares about your child like you do, and if you don't push the issue, your child will not get the help he is entitled to.  i hope this was helpful...very best of luck to you. you can also go to dr.phil's website to get more ld, a.d.d., adhd, dyslexia, etc. info from dr. frank lawless.

I think someone else mentioned this, but I think you need to speak to the teacher without accusing her.  Find out what her policies are, and not only listen to her answers, but see how she answers.  Is she yelling at you when she speaks, or does she speak softly?  Is her body language telling you that she is trying to hide something?  \n\nIf you don't seem to get an answer to your question, try telling her that your son feels like he is being put upon because he is shy, which is only going to make him more shy, and perhaps between the two of you, you can help him get out of his shell and interact with the class.  If you make it clear that you want to work WITH her rather than report her, you will have a better shot at getting what you want.

Definitely do tell people about it! My daughter was bullied at school, and hated life until she was moved. Talk to the school, BUT if they do nothing, then go right to the state teaching board (not 100% sure how things work in the US) but if the school does nothing, go right over their heads. My daughter had proof that this other student had stolen her wallet, yet the school didn't want to know about it, or the many other ocassions.

I would just mind your own business. Why would you want them both to get kicked out of school??? If it bothers you soooo much, talk to your friend. You're not involved so I woundn't get involved in the issue.

Talk to the school district's district office.  See if the kid can get trransferred to another teacher's class.  Don't be afraid to raise a little hell about it.  Just don't go over board and do anything rash.

This is terrible situation, but I know you already this.  I feel really bad for you and your son because I do know what it feels like to be at your wits ends.\n\nI suggest you continue to talk to the people at the school, but also send them letters identifying the problems along with the date and time of the incidents.  This will create a paper trail.  A paper trail will help you in two ways:  documentation so that when you take this matter to the school board or higher no one can say I didn't know; and, in the unfortunate event that the bullying gets so severe that you must seek legal action.\n\nAlso, did you try contacting the parent of the other child involved.\n\nI wish the best for you this is a really tough situation and it is hard to think when you and your son are being impacted so greatly.\nRegards...
