My son was bullied today, but here is the difference. [View all]
As many of you know, my then kindergartner son had a terrible year of bullying in his old school. Today, a kid in his new school hit him and few others. I was furious. I was about to say that this place is no better than the school I pulled him out of. That was until my kid opened his backpack and showed me the cards drawn (at the request of the teacher, I'm sure) by his other classmates showing their support and telling him how sorry they were that it happened. In the old school, we might hear something from the teacher or principal after I complained loudly enough about not being informed. And yes, the Dean told me there is a meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning with the bully's parents making it clear that it will end. But I was most impressed by the show of support by the school and his classmates.
