my ds1 is 7 and in year 3, for as long as he has been at school there has been a problem with one of his class. This boy seems to have no idea what is appropriate behaviour, doesnt understand when his behaviour is wrong. I had sympathy to start with but things have been escalating recently. In the last couple of weeks he has pulled my son by his hair to the floor, kneed him in the back and floored him. He has hit a teaching assistant, shouts out rude words walks around the class shouting faggot and moron and is basically uncontrollable. I have obv spoken to the school cos my son is in tears about it all, the year 3 teacher is keeping a record and wants us to write letters detailing all the issues. But do you know what really really worries me, the KS1 leader and head have told her that he has never been like this before!!! BUT HE HAS he was kissing a liitle boys bum in the toilets in year one and was behaving really badly. This current teacher wants to get him statemented, but i dont understand why they are saying there wasnt a problem. I was in with the head continually in year 2 but trusted the school were dealing with it. Believe it or not she told ds1 he needs to feel sorry for bully cos his mum doesnt love him as much as i love ds1. I couldnt believe my ears. My partner is a teacher and he cannot believe that he hasnt been excluded for assaulting the teaching assistant and attacking other pupils. What do you think could possibly be the reasons for the lack of action and denial that he was a problem before??
