Irritated mom of a 6 y/o girl!
About two weeks ago, my daughter came home from school and told me that a boy in her class exposes himself to their entire snack time table. I wrote a note to her teacher, and to my surprise, I received a note back stating that they were already aware of the situation and had "addressed it". I was not happy that I wasn't notified via phone call/letter home from the school, I feel as though in a situation like that it should be an adult who reaches out to the parents of the affected kids as opposed to trying to cover it up and only acknowledging the situation after a parent comes forward because their child told them... But I was willing to get it go (albeit reluctantly).
Yesterday, when my daughter came home from school, she'd been drawn on by the same boy in art class. I asked her why he'd done it, if anything else had happened first, and if she'd drawn on him or anything of the sort to prompt that reaction. She said no, that he'd done it randomly, and that he'd then told her that if she told anybody, he would uninvite her from his birthday party (which is obviously a big deal to a child).
I'm furious, I sent her to school with another note today saying that I want her seat moved AND a meeting with the teacher, because this sort of behavior isn't acceptable and I'm not going to tolerate her being bullied by a boy old enough to know better. If his social skills are not where they should be, he needs to be put into a program alongside public school to try and acclimate him to proper behavior. My daughter also told me that last week, he struck another girl in their class.
I'm wondering if I should even bother speaking with the teachers at this point, they brushed me off last time when this could've been easily prevented if the previous incident had been dealt with, or if I should go straight to calling the principal AND the boy's mother; I have a sheet of paper with contact info for everybody in my daughter's class, and I'm tempted to use it.
Looking for advice, because I may not be the most rational right now! I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second, and I want to drive to that school and rip that boy's head clean off.
