Boy at DS school keeps hurting him and other children

[Pinksparkles84]

My 7 Year old son goes to a local primary school. The class is quite big and there are a few children with additional needs that have teaching assistants. I’ve always taught my DS to be kind and treat people the way he wants to be treated.

Recently a boy in his class has been hitting and scratching my DS. DS always tells the teacher and the said boy gets out in a time out. I’ve spoken to my X about this as his solution is for DS to knock him out. X also wants to have a word with the parent and is keen for our son to stick up for himself. I have contacted the teacher to find out if there is a way for DS not to be hurt by this child, but I’m not sure of the right way to deal with it.

I would welcome any suggestions of how best to move forward.

Firstly ignore your idiot ex, knock him out, jeez. You contact the school asking how they are going to keep your son safe and keep a paper trail. If it continues consider another school.

Your ex is obviously an ex for a reason. The man is an idiot. Never, ever, ever speak to the Parent.

Does this pupil have a full time TA?

I absolutely agree about him being an idiot! He’s said every time that our son should learn to stand up for himself and that he should retaliate which absolutely goes against what I’m trying to teach DS (Thankfully I’ve seen sense as he’s an ex). He rolled his eyes when I said I would contact DS teacher to see how it can be resolved.

I believe that the pupil has a full time TA but I’m not entirely sure. I’m hoping to be able to speak to the teacher to see if there is a better way of moving forward.

We had a similar situation. The first thing to establish is whether they have s full time TA and if so, what was the TA doing when the attacks on your DS took place?

How is a 7 year old supposed to knock someone out?

Exactly. The guy is talking gibberish
