Kids picking on other kids?

Question

Okay I have a question my son is going into 1st grade soon he is in the summer program at his school it is K-6th grade in there for the summer my son told me that he did not want to go to school anymore which he loves going and I asked why he told me that the big kids are picking on all the little kids. Should i say something to the teachers what would you do?

Answer 1

This problem has been around at school for a long time. Some schools take it seriously but unfortunately many don't. I think that the parents of the little kids should encourage their sons and daughters to keep together and as a group to resist the actions of the older ones. I realise that somebody will probably get hurt. But if they don't take this action, the problem will get worse and someone else will still be hurt anyway.

Answer 2

Talk to the teachers, but remain anonymous so your child isn't verbally abused for being a 'tattletale'.

well go to a principal, lay it down on the teacher straight, get other parents involoved and gain up on the teacher. dont jsut sit there DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Its very important to keep on this situation and speak with the principal as soon as possible. This way he or she can be made aware of the problem and inform the teachers on duty to pay a closer attention to this situation and hopefully aid this and stop it from happening. Also I find that when they send all the kids from all the grades to play outside together it makes it very hard to control. Suggest smaller groups or set aside play areas for the grades so that the bigger kids have less chances to mesh with the younger ones.

Answer 7

Teasing is a big problem, especially in urban areas (I teach in an urban area) because a lot of this kids don't come from anything so they belittle others to make themselves feel better. As a teacher, I can tell you honestly that a lot of times, there's nothing we can do because we are trying to look after 20 something kids. You should complain to the highest person in charge because only they have the power to change what's going on. If you don't see improvement, find somewhere else for him to go. You just have to visit any school.
