this bully

is doing more then being a loudmouth and shunning him is only adding to his anger. There is only so long you cn ignore this type of behavior because kids are kids. When a child is making direct sexual and hurtful comments to your child who knows whats next in this day in age?? Kids who are bullies, who are acting out, angry and are injuring other kids need not be ignored. They need help immediately and maybe the violence in schools will be cut down. A bully might be left to his own means, one of retaliation. Look at Virginia Tech or Columbine.

Thankyou for your concerns and help.

bus

you only have to pay for the bus if you are in the 2 mile radius from the school. others outside the 2 miles are free.

My little girl got one last year...in kindergarten. There was one week where she copied the days of the week underneath where they were printed in it, the rest of it was filled, and I mean FILLED, with smiley faces. I'm happy that she enjoys school enough to feel that happy, I guess. The one she has this year, all the students copy down a sentence the teacher gives them, like,''Tomorrow we have gym. Remember to wear gym shoes.'' or something about what they are studying. You get a little information about whats going on, and they get a little practice writing. Granted, the same thing could be accomplished with a 25 cent spiral notebook. Ah, well.
