Thanks a lot for sharing your valuable experience about this subject.
I truly believe that parents will play the biggest part of disciplining our children to become the best person they will be. Let’s continue to make a difference in our society.

all the best,

the school should not encourage this no matter what the reason is, be it an attitude problem, or etc. they should have a sanction to the bully student – normally starts with a MISDEMEANOR, then DETENTION – where the bully spends his break, recess with a certain teacher or administrator in charge, then if it is repeated, should be given an IMMEDIATE TIME OUT or a SUSPENSION – one other sanction our school gives is taking away from the bully student his freedom to play for example “soccer or his fav’rite sport” during recess. –

we had lots of really mean bullies in the school, but with the help of the CODE OF CONDUCT – the bullies mellowed down, and SOME have really changed – not because they wanted to, they were forced to otherwise theyll be kicked out of the school. Physical injury should immediately have a sanction to the bully student -

You might want to ask again for their copy of CODE of CONDUCT in the school –
sometimes fighting back, is an advantage so the bully will think that he can’t just beat anybody around,
although (your son) should keep your reminders with him at all times…

I had an experience where one student who was always being bullied, fought back and both the bully and the non-bully student ended up being suspended together for 2 days..

the school(including the teachers) should play the biggest part in here in terms of their policies plus the parents of the bully student -who should support the schools’ policies by monitoring their child

…hope this helps you a little

Then beat him up, until he cries!

Always works with me, when I was still in elementary…. hahaaha!
