year 1 behaviour question

There is a very aggresive boy in my ds class at school. He invades other childrens personal space and pushes over and kicks other children who happen to be in his way. His parents seem scared of him and have little control over him.
At sports club last week this boy really picked on my ds, pushed him over and hit him often.
My ds has just told me today he has been put in the same group as him for literecy, and he stopped him from doing some of the work by blocking his space. He isn't upset though and doesn't want to talk about it.
Do you think i should go and talk to the teacher or let it lie and see how things go.
They are in year 1. My ds is very laid back and not at all aggresive or boisterous so wouldn't fight back. I worry that i may appear over anxious and guilty of smother love if i say something.

If it were me I would note it down at this stage and see how it goes, if there is a disruptive child in class then more than likely the school already know who and are looking at having something in place to help.

I would also try and teach your child to tell an adult if he has been hurt etc and to teach him to say Stop I do not like you doing X.

Very sorry, i rally didn't mean that i didn't think your advice was good - i do. I went into school a couple of times last year - about the same boy, and felt that the teacher did nothing and so told my ds strategies which i thought would help. When he told the teacher he was told to stop telling tales. I don't know what answer i was looking for but i really do appreciate yours.

You see be careful about using the word bullying as children in my experence at that age do not tend to be bullied as children usually at that age do not have the capacity to bully.

Yes he has a new teacher who is really nice and very different to the one last year who was very unapproachable and a bit cold. She was very aware this boy has a problem, but didn't do anything about it. I think i will ask his mew teacher to keep an eye on things between my ds and this boy and see how things go from there.

No because children at that age are generally learning the rules and are still learning acceptable and unacceptable behaviours.

If it is a new teacher go and see her.
