we moved area and ds joined yr 6 in October last year. It's a lovely school but one boy is very hostile to him. The teacher has tried to address it in a low key way but ds still very often has no one to play with at break times and seems to be incredibly down about it, he's missed days of school with an 'upset tummy' which comes on at 8.30 am.
This one boy appears to be very dominant and can't seem to tolerate ds. ds does have some friends but they don't have that much clout I think.
My sis implies: life is tough he has to go in and face it out. I wish the school could make a difference. But maybe there's nothing they can do. This boy seems to be in charge of the group.
What kind of strategies might work in this situation?
I don't know what is reasonable to expect the school to achieve. ds just says we moved so late, they all have mates, they don't really like him etc.
The whole thing is having a really depressing effect on all of us. He says he wants to be home schooled....
I've written to the teacher again and will wait to hear what he says. It's hard to force a big kid into school.
Any thing positive anyone might say from their own experience would be wonderful to read.
