Re: bullying

ok... a child goes to school and someone says something nasty to him or pushes him over or teases him, which upsets him... ....THIS is not bullying, this is nastyness. If it happens everyday and the other child goes out of their way to be nasty then thats bullying.

We all want to protect our children but some parents will shout bullying after 1 day....schools wont class it as bullying until its gone on for at least a week.

before anyone has a go, im not saying that nastyness should be ignored, im just saying its not bullying.

my advice is always speak to the school... your child wont want you to for fear of it getting worse and tbh it probably will... carry on going in and telling the school and eventually they will realise they wont get away with it. Just take extra precautiohns like walking your child to and from school.. making sure the other teachers are aware in case they are yard duty so they can keep an eye on them (this will also provide proof) or ask the school to find your child a buddy from a higher year that will hang round with them at play time.
