WWYD?

[Lookthere]

DS came home distraught as a child in their school has apparently been making quite rude, derogatory remarks about me and DH to be nasty. DS has told us that this child does this often. I’m so infuriated and disgusted as this child has a nasty streak, often being horrid to other children. Has bullied a couple of children too. Really am upset about this and would like some advice as DS is upset.

Contact the school.

I agree - speak to the school

@wolfiefan I did speak to DS and did mention speaking with their teacher but he’s somehow convinced the child will not stop and it will have little effect.
This child previously bullied a slightly timid classmate and when the teacher tried to intervene after parents complained they still didn’t stop.

I know children can say unpleasant things to one another when bickering but find it quite shocking that they’ve become so bold to start saying things about parents!

I’d follow the schools complaint’s procedure
Teacher, principal, board of governors

Thank you @nimbuscloud and @WhenISnappedAndFarted I think I do need to speak with them as it simply must be stopped.

Speak to the school and keep taking it further. Horrible children like these need to be dealt with.

I'd speak to the school first and see what they say and any plans to deal with the situation. You can't jump straight to the complaints procedure when you haven't even spoken to anyone. The poor teacher possibly doesn't know it's happening and you're suggesting starting formal procedures against her/him

Give them a chance to take some action

The school need to deal with this. You must speak to them.

Take it up with the school.

@AmyLou100 I absolutely agree they need to be.
Something must be done but just hope they school enforce something that is actually effective in stopping this atrocious behaviour.

Distract him now- don’t dwell on it and ask him tilty headedly how he’s feeling. Make home a space where the bully isn’t.
