What have you been doing today?

[maddy]

Cp says that during silent reading she calls him over & "talks" to him. He asks for help, sometimes she wont help him. He did a project in class on a school computer, another kid wiped all,his work, she said busy weekend. I helped him as it was daunting for him, she now refuses to assess his project.

Lr, the suspension in my opinion is way over the top.  what he did was wrong, but no one was physically hurt or touched.  In a nutshell he verbally told this girl he could hurt her with a corkscrew set & showed it to,her. He has been bullied by this girl in his class since he started the school, not defending him but hes onky 22kgs in yr 6, 11 years old. A normal size yr 6 would be much bigger. What he did was wrong, but this girl should be talked too as well. She was being very nasty & he acted impulsivley.

Suspending him from school is no punishment, he doesnt like school, better punishment no recess or lunch breaks for a week.

Oh the joys

Tough one H  

I would personally  request to speak to CP's  teacher, and discuss his concerns.....hear it from her, and the situation regarding his project...I think her attitude towards it sounds unfair.
Lr....that's a toughie....did the school speak to you prior to suspension? I think a chat re: stirring girl wouldn't hurt, won't change what Lr did, but at least they can be "aware" of the triggers.

Good luck H

Will speak to cps teacher.

Lr as he was not in my care at the time, I have had no contact from the school, but guess what the  days he has suspension he is with me. So it puts me right out.

What I do,hate is that these kids have a lable so therfore are automatically in the wrong.

I'm just wondering, Hally - since you're his carer for this time, surely that gives you the right to talk to the school about this?  You really need to know as much information about this as possible I should think - and this child obviously needs someone "on his side" . . . . tough call . . . .

[Halex]

Yes gf.

I dont know I might get in trouble as he was not with me, but he is now.

Wuld love to speak to prinicipal but dont want to make it worse.

Maybe contact the organisation you went through, discuss with them the situation, and see if you are valid to discuss with school.
This kid needs all the support he can get now...it's such a sad situation.

Hally, I would talk to CP's teacher, also the principal for LR.

Took Maddys advice, got permission to speak to school. Feel so much better that I did they genuinely like lr & do want to help, so thats a positive. Any threatening behaviour is automatic suspension.

He has been on excellent behaviour here.

That's good you did that Hally, with some positive influences around him his behaviour will start to improve I'm sure. Is anything being done about the girl?
