Just looking for some input ladies...do you think grade 3 students should be suspended for violence in school? Principal…

@beakymcspence perhaps a police report for assault if they refuse to take it seriously

@beakymcspence, you know the reason they deny things is because they’re scared you’ll sue/ their reputation involved or their jobs on the line more than our children in our society 💔🙄 it’s definitely crap and the fact that you’re PAYING?! That’s even worse because they’re supposed to be proper for the money if they don’t improve I’d consider speaking to him about giving a private school cash that deserves and cares more about the kids

@beakymcspence, wait it’s the principles nephew? F that I’d raise hell

She laughed on the phone calling it an accident that was made dramatic...umm no...oh right it’s the principals nephew makes sense now. I’m so sad for my son. He was a premie so is a bit smaller then the other kids..but he’s also in a split class two grades so these older kids are really targeting him this week for some reason.

😡😡😡 get 'em mama bear

😔 I don’t blame him. It sucks so bad when little assholes get to ruin it for the good ones. I wonder what would happen if your little guy decided to turn around and stab the little f er back... then what would happen, probably your little one get in trouble. The system is such bull shit and makes me absolutely sick. I’m so sorry I hope someone does something

@beakymcspence, Wow. I’m surprised she told him that. That’s against law in the US. I almost never say this to people on here, but you need to go in and talk to the principal about the punishment. That is way too little for something so serious. 😒

ETA: Inquire about the school and/or district policies for physical injuries inflicted by another student. Usually there’s specific criteria for that & the punishment that’s appropriate. When/where did this happen? In class? There’s no way that was an accident. I’ve been accidentally “stabbed” by a pencil and it barely penetrated my skin. Go above her if you need to, especially considering the conflict of interest.

My son and the other boy did not participate in gym class today because my son has a touch of the cold and the other I’m not sure why he sat out. Instead of physical education the two boys were to be in class working on a small craft project instead, and their teacher was in the “paper room” getting a couple supplies. As we’ve been told the boy began taunting Draidon and chasing him around the room with a very sharp pencil (this boy is a grade ahead of ours as it’s a split so older) Our son said he was scared so he ran to the classroom closet and waited in it until he thought the boy was gone. When he emerged from the closet and stepped out it seems the boy was laying it wait you could say and “jabbed” Draidon in the back with the pencil.

The other boy admittedly told his uncle who’s the private school principal that he was angry with Draidon because he’d not box with him..

I find it odd that they’d tell us it was an accident and that our son fell on the boys pencil, but then tell us in fact it had been a violent attack of sorts. The office secretary even laughed on the phone and told us the situation was being taken as way more dramatic then it really was...um this child chased my son and stabbed him? He’s older then my son? How is this funny in any manner.

Wow. It makes sense now why they were laughing it off. No one was supervising the kids which, in the US, makes them legally negligent. I’m sure there are similar laws there. Does the private school have a discipline handbook/policy? I would certainly request a meeting with the principal. I’d also ask for any notes or documentation they have regarding the incident, including any injury report that was made by the nurse. All of those things SHOULD have been done, or at least something similar I would think (they are commonplace procedures in US public schools when things like that happen). I’m not sure how education law works in Canada, but for some reason I have the impression than your private schools are required to follow Canadian law whereas US private schools are not. So you may want to look into those in terms of what’s considered negligence, whether due process was followed to determine what happened in this situation, etc.

Thanks love

Omg poor girl 😩 I do not remember stuff like this being so violent when we were that age? It’s a holiday weekend here and so the kids are out till Tuesday. I just want to take him and do something special..I can’t imagine how he’s feeling. I was picked on in school but I don’t think that started till junior high!

@doubleksmommy, yes legally they can’t tell u blah, blah, blah. But I’m sure your son will spill the beans. @beakymcspence, if u know the parents I’d certainly call them and talk about it. Was this the same boy?

Darrell went to the school and they definitely tried to down play it. They are on route to the doctor. When I’d called the office secretary said while laughing our son slipped and it wasn’t that dramatic..but there’s two holes 😑

oh wow I never knew that.

Agreed!

Agreed!
