My neighbors, atheist and what not took their kid out of public school and pay almost double for Catholic school because they asked the school 8 times with proof, recorded information of bullying and did not do anything because of the parents of the bully kid. They say he is a good kid in the neighborhood and roughhousing is okay. I had a problem with that until it happen to my child in a private school.
My daughter goes to Catholic school and a boy who is 3 years older took her knapsack, broke her android pad and the zippers on her knapsack and was in tears (hysterical to be honest, she doesn't understand how kids can be so cruel and just take her stuff). I called the bus company and they ask me for details. I got the boys name, first and last and they said they will talk to the principal. Since I am going to school tomorrow I will talk to the principal and if she doesn't do anything with the boy, his parents and I will have a little discussion and they BETTER cooperate and pay for a new ASUS MemoPad that she has or there will be issues and I am not a person you want to deal with if we have issues.
Mind you, my first instinct was beat the schit out of the father not properly parenting his child as my kids, girls and boy no nothing of bullying, but the wife and my parents told me to calm down as they know I will beat someone to death if I have to and messing with my kids, I will beat you to death. I am a nice person as they say at work, but don't piss me off, I am not a good person after that, not at all.
I called my mom, a retired discipline teacher, she said I did the right thing but under no circumstance confront and beat the child's father (she know I will) just do what I do, make him feel an inch tall and I taught you how to do that.
So if your kid is bullied by someone bigger and several years older, what would you do? The public schools can't do anything but say "stop it" but private schools can be harsher in discipline.
