Hi there,
Just to make it clear - i havnt scarpered i just dont live and breath the net.
Lets just clear a few things up then. I never sat children down and questioned them taking statements etc. I am very friendly with quite a few of the parents in my daughters class and we all walk to and from school together. On walking home from school that afternoon the kids could'nt wait to tell me what the little boy had done. My only questions to them were what was the class doing at the time and what happened to the little boy?
Their parents were asking more questions than me and they are just as unhappy about it as i am. They certainly dont want thier child to be next so they are all very concearned.
My problem is not with the little boy in qeustion but with the supervision standards that the school have and what the school are going to do about it.
I have had problems with this little boy ever since my little girl started school - he seems to lash out at her and be really nasty for no apparent reason. He walks home at the same time we do and on quite a few occasions has stood in the middle of the path waiting for her and when she has ran past he has launched himself at her grabbing her hair pulling it out and being really nasty - He hits her in the face with his school bag to. The thing that bothers me is his mother just stands and watches it and never says a word to him and quite obviously thinks it is acceptable for him to behave like that. Even when my little girl is in tears infront of her beacuse of her little boys actions. As far as i am concearned it is up to her to disciplin him in her own way but to be totally compus mentous about it all is taking the piss to be honest.
I have brought this up to the class teacher and the response i got was it is out of school hours and there isnt anything they can do.
Yes i did send a letter to his mother on Friday and i dont see what i have done wrong. I told her that i had went round earlier that evening to speek to her but she wasnt in therfore wrote her a letter. I explained what had happened at school and that obviously i wasnt happy and that my little girls was quite upset about the whole thing. To be honest him cutting her hair was the final straw for me and i told her that. I have kept my mouth shut long enough. I told her that i had been in contact with the school and that they were now dealing with the complaint but at the very least i felt she had to know about the incindent and that if she wished to talk to me about it then to come and see me. I would have wanted to have know had the shoe been on the other foot. At the very least i would have expected and appology of some sorts for my little girl. I was very nice in the letter and not threatening at all.
I remained calm and reserved when the teacher told me and have done infront of my daughter therfore NOT throwing fule on the fire.
Yes i only noticed the full extent of the damage when i got home as it was pouring down on the walk home from school and she also came home with her hair tied back (she did NOT go to school with her hair tied up that morning). I was told her hair was getting in her face - funny because i have never had this happen before and neither have any of my friends so i would say they were obviously trying to cover something up. I do expect that when a teacher is talking to me she is being truthful therefore didnt have to much cause for concern - obviously not anymore.
I am not the only parent of a child who has had problems with this little boy but as i have said i am not angry with the little boy - i am angry with the school as they should be monitering him properly. I am also really annoyed with his parents. Thy know what he is like and still remain to do absolutly nothing about it. Its obvious the boy needs help but they just give of the cant be arsed attitude. Its not fair on my daughter to just have to accept his behaviour bcause he may have issues - that is up to the school to provide help for him.
To be honest i honestly didnt think that the world had so many bullies and i honestly didnt think the majority of them would be on this website.
I personally think it is shocking that the majority of you all seem to think that violating another human being is so acceptable and that bullying is just one of those things that happens and i have to accept it. My daughter is my life and if she is hurt, upset, angry etc then it is up to me to deal with it. Thats what being a mum is surely. I just dont understand why most of you seem to be so blazay about the whole thing. I am not talking about family doing this to another family member not that i think that is right etither. This little boy has no right whatsoever.
My little girl loves to look pretty and has an opinion on all her clothes and accessories. Of course i tell her she is pretty and beautiful and gorgeous like all parents do but no she is not the next Miss World and i never enforce her to look a certain way. The only thing i would say is i like her to be tidy, clean and presentable. Whats wrong with that? I cant help the fact that she is a girlie girl and loves to look that way.
I think a lot of on here are all to quick to judge.
