Loves his teacher. Loves the school. Loves all the kids in his class except for one but that is already handled. * Today he is tired and edgy, but I gave him a 30 minute window to just chill out on his own. He may just be overstimulated and having a hard time transitioning from school to home. I know that sounds lame, but it is the best way to describe it. I'm going to give him another full week before I become officially worried.
* The first day LL came home complaining that there was a bully who elbowed him in the face, so LL told the teacher. The child was scolded so the kid punched LL and elbowed his friend. he complained to me and mrs L and we just reminded him that he already has groundrules on how to deal with bullies.
Apparently, the bullying continued on the second day. The teacher talked to me about it because she was concerned I might be upset. I let her know I'm sure that she and the children would figure it out.
The 3rd day it continued until gym class where LL flattened the kid on the soccer field and then screamed in his face that it would get worse unless the kid stayed away from him and his friend. The gym teacher and his regular teacher both saw the incident. They officially asked me to talk to LL about letting the teachers handle inappropriate behavior. Unofficially, they said the kid had it coming and he hasn't bothered anyone since he got up off the ground.
