There's a long history.

My ds is shy, geeky. Knows what he likes -very academic/not great socially There's a bulldozer child who is his opposite. Alpha mum, jazz hands, sporty, darling-darling who is related to a staff member.

This other child has worked his way through his class bullying kids, controlling stuff and really wrecking friendships. My ds just doesn't get on with this kind of person. He reads during a lot of breaks (TA is a friend and has told me) and the other child has been taking,kicking and removing his books. It all came to a head last Friday when my DS reacted and screamed and the child to leave him alone and walked away.

The other kid went into meltdown- involved the headteacher (yes really) and between them they decided the best solution would be to contractually oblige my kid(nobody else's) to play for three set days with him.

Dh drafted up a contract yesterday for the HT to come to every single weekend BBQ over the summer and asked her to sign it and he was told not to be so ridiculous (hmm really)

The contract was enforced today and I've just collected DS from school in bits saying he doesn't want to go back.

Is this completely batshit or have I entered a twilight zone.

Sorry to be so ranty. I'm so cross!

Just briefly. When I was 14 I was at a school where I'd been bullied on and off, went back to school and a girl tried to set fire to my hair, so I walked out and didn't want to go back.

My mum spoke to the head of year who said that I was making a mistake by not returning and she (my mum) was making a mistake by not making me return! My mum who was at the time a primary school teacher asked the head of year if she'd stay in a job where she was being bullied. I left the school and went to another, better, private school where I did much better.

Stick to your guns re your DS. The head etc is NOT looking out for your son's needs at all and these stupid ideas re making children being bullied mentor the bully etc, I'd like to strange the psychologist or whoever it who dreamt up this bright idea in the first place!
