You guys are all so wonderful! I know that if we were still in Utah we’d’ve gotten the brush off; but bitty town Idaho, where we are is a tight community with one of the nicer things being no rivalries between religious faiths or hunters vs. bird watchers. Our principal goes to church with us and the School Superintendent lives 4 houses down from us and they were/are both on top it and with the attitude of ‘Not in OUR school; not in OUR town’ and the police department is the same way.
So far I’ve not had any phone calls from the school saying that E. wants to come home. It help big time when all the school administration told him that if he feels threatened in anyway, in class, on the grounds at lunch, where ever, he can get up and leave and go straight to Mr. J or Dr. Stein and they’ll handle it right then and there.
Thanks so much for all your love and support…. now if my stomach would quit tying itself in knots…. I was SO tempted to go to school with him today in maile, sheild and sword and the part of ‘Avenging Angel’…… 🙄

Coming to this one late, but oy! What a thing to be threatened with!
Glad you took action, and that the school and community aren’t ignoring it.
Hang in there. Being a victim of school bullying myself, I know where you’re coming from.

I was terrorized in Junior High, getting chased home by a pack of girls bent on beating me up was an everyday event. I learned to book off campus at high speed, and take a route that was off the beaten track to avoid them. But one day I didn’t go my usual way and got caught by 4 of them. They beat me up pretty good, on top of that my brother was with me and didn’t help until after.
My mother nearly beat him up when we got home. She said next time your sister is in a 4 to 1 fight, you’d better be in the fight too! Oh boy was she angry with him.
Anyway, school was not fun for me once I was out of classes.

*snerk* Most of the people I went to high school with thought our family was in the mafia because we have a Sicilian last name.
Can’t say that I ever had such a problem.
But I’m glad everything is getting sorted out for your boy, Twin!
I’m so glad that the school is separating out the troublemakers and sending them away, and to schools far enough away that they also shouldn’t be much of a problem after school either. I wasn’t the kid in school who was merely bullied, I was tortured, not just in the Primary/Elementary, or High school, but from grade 1 to grade 12. My principle(K-6) lived 2 doors away from me and would walk me to and from school if he could, it was that bad. The cops would try and intervene but that would make it worse. If any adults did, it got worse. The “Bullying” sadly gets worse when you tell. So as happy as I am that your boys are going to have a better school year, my own experience, and paranoia make me feel a need to warn you to remember that Summer is coming, and those Bully’s aren’t going to be too happy about having been sent away. But I do hope that for your Boy’s sake the others do behave.

I’m SO glad to knwo they are goint to get it handled though
Good Luck again
Wow! I’m just reading this now.
I have to agree with what DM said above. Some kids nowadays are just sooooo darn bad… and cruel! They learn things they should’t a lot earlier now too. School can be such torture for bullied kids. I feel bad when I hear about them getting picked on non-stop. I’ve been through it myself. Especially my first year of high school. My parents moved us from one town to the other… just in time for me to start in a high school, where I knew nobody. I was terrified, and pretty soon I had this one girl constantly picking on me. And I was not one to stand up for myself… which made it so much worse. Anyway, I really do feel for the poor kids getting bullied. It’s awful.
I am very glad that this is getting handled for your son though twinsdragonsmum! A lot of the time, you hear of schools doing nothing to help the situation… only to have it become worse. The school your son goes to must be a good one, and they actually care about their students. Hang in there girl! It will get better soon. We are all here for you to talk to. 🙂 *big hugs*

A sad reality, considering what it says about human society and our attention to the role of parenting. 🙁 But true, children today are exposed to harsh influences so early, and become harsh and cruel individuals on a too frequent basis. It’s really sad. 🙁
