“My son says he is being bullied in school. I talked to the principal, who said my son was getting bullied because of his ‘weird’ behavior. What is my next step?”
Here is how I got the school to take notice and deal with the bully who was targeting my son.
Every time he was bullied, I made him, my son, who is in third grade sit down and write out an account of exactly what happened during. This account included the date, the time, the location, exactly what was done and exactly what was said. He said, “I’m going to kill you.” Then, in his own words, my son wrote down how this made him feel and exactly what he wanted the bully to do. .
After he wrote out his account, he took it to school and read it to the teacher, who in this case then sent it to the principal. After two of these accounts were sent, the bullying stopped. It sounds like a lot of work, I know, but it places the child in the position of power and makes him responsible and not just a victim.I had an issue with some serious bullying with my daughter in middle school. I went through proper channels and was told by the principal — and I quote — “I fail to see what these boys did wrong.
My suggestion is to file a complaint with the OCR and if you have to, threaten them with a lawsuit. Come in armed with laws and show them that you know your rights! Ask them for access to your child’s whole educational file and take pictures of every page in it, as well as asking for copies of the whole file – including the folder itself. They have to give it to you. You have the right to access that at any time! Don’t let them bully you! I have had too many experiences with that.
