Since year 5 there have been two children in my son’s class that have systematically been unkind. We have mentioned it in passing to the teachers to keep and eye out and they have. It’s year 6 now and it’s unkind comments daily so far this term, accusing my son of punching them (which the teachers investigated and found to be a made up lie). Today he was told he was fat and so many other horrible comments. Having water spat at him. Some of the other children stuck up for him and the TA was told and made them ‘hug it out’ and said to them they both needed to attend a club at lunchtime next week together about being friends and making up. I absolutely do not want my child to attend this, he is not the problem here. The other child is. So why should my child be told to attend this club? AIBU? It all sounds really petty and ridiculous written down but it’s contact shit they dish out. We haven’t gone in for a meeting in the past about it because the first thing the teachers do is get my son and the other person involved to sit down together to work it out. It’s gone psst that stage well and truly. I am seeing red mist but need to make sure I’m not being unreasonable.
