Thanks. The school is useless! My husband wants to go bang some heads, but of course that won't help. He's 15 and he doesn't want me fighting his battles for him, but no one else seems to be doing it. He has been "walking away" for 8 months and it hasn't exactly helped. On Thursday when he swung at the kid who was saying things about me, the teacher threw Kevin out of class. Then the next day when I spoke to the Principal he told me he had talked to kevin's teachers. I asked him if he was aware that Kevin had been kicked out of class and guess what: The teacher never told him! Kevin is a good kid, and he doesn't ever get in to trouble. Hopefully once summer comes things will cool down and be forgotten. I was always picked on in school and I know how hurtful it is. I know we can't protect our children from everything, but this is so hard. Thanks for your support guys!

It makes me so mad that a Teacher would kick a kid out of the class room, like that's going to take care of the problem. If this has been going on for this long, it needs to be stopped now. Kevins High School years are going to be the most important to him. He needs to know he has support. If the Teacher can't do her job, and the Principal won't back you, I really think it's time for the School Board to know they have a bunch of bullys in their schools. They can, and will put a stop to it. The last thing they want is upset parents with questions they can't answer. We had that same problem here, we pulled all the kids and parents in for a meeting, the kids were told if it didn't stop, they would be sent to a new school. The parents had no idea what was going on, but they did put a stop to it. Teri, sometimes we need to step aside, but sometimes we have to step in. Let your school know, if they don't take care of the problem, you will. I bet they act real fast on it. Hugs to Kevin.

Gina,
Thanks for your comments. I was ON the school board for 6 years, 2 as the President. Disicpline problems are always referred back to the building principal. I told him I'm going to get a lawyer because NJ has an anti-bullying policy and they are in violation. A meeting with the parents is a great idea. I think I'll have a meeting called with all of the parents of involved students. You are right, the parents don't usually know what is going on. Thanks for such a great idea, I will call him tomorrow.

No rain... WHAt?! We have had rain everyday since last Monday, and suppose to have it till next Friday, can you imagine? Yesterday it stopped and the sun came out and dried everything up so I mowed, me and the entire neighborhood, before we have to bail it! Put everything away and it started again!
Had to take pictures for my friend's dads 60th surprise party last night that was fun, today cookout with Jim's mom and his family then to my moms, now home and ready for a nap.
Hope all the Mothers had a wonderful day today! You all deserve it.
