School Problems - Bellevue,NE

Call and talk to the teacher. Call her at home if you have to to find out what is really going on and how it is being handled in the classroom. If you don't like the answer, or if the problem continues, talk to the principal. Find out what the consequences are for the other children who are involved. My daughter had a horrible time with a couple of kids in her 3rd grade class. I talked to both her teacher and the principal and we were able to work to resolve the problem thankfully. Don't just ignore the problem and let your child be labled the trouble maker or worse yet the class "goat".

First and foremost there can be bully's in Kindergarten. So yea this little boy could already be bullying your son cause he sees him as a weak link or awkward cause of his autism. My son has Aspergers and is nearly 5. I know he is awkward with children and doesn't behave as the rest of them do... And guess what he already gets ganged up on by THREE boys constantly. He's 5! The teacher always says they are just chasing.. But my son says they are chasing and calling me names. So I asked him what would happen if they caught you. He said I don't know I just keep running so they can't basically. So I talked with the principle and she is handling it. He already got to the point were he didn’t like to go to school.

So considering you don't even know what the story is and your notes you are being provided don't say much. I would most certainly march into that teachers office and very kindly ask her what is going on. She is seeing things and if your son is making things up or leaving things out she can assist you. You can also tell her what your son has said and maybe shed some light on what she doesn't understand so she can watch this all more closely and see how to put an end to it. Best of luck!

It breaks my heart to read this. My son is almost 4 and is suspected to have Aspergers. I have already seen other children tease him (and had an adult who was observing him in his class tell me he was blamed for instances he either had not started or was not involved in at all). So, I worry about when he is in school. My personal feeling is that you need to be your child's advocate. You need to maybe have someone impartial observe your child and his classmates. (We were fortunate that a friend's daughter is a special needs teacher and was willing to observe our son both at daycare and church). This might help to understand better what is happening. Good luck. :-)

I can understand where u r coming from. I am a nanny and for six months i took of a girl that was I guess severely autistic. I felt when she started kindergarten she was a little picked on. She also did normal class and resource. They had 'rest' time for the kids but for her it was more like nap time. She was sent home alot the first fwew months of school. I feel like public schools tend to not want to deal with kids like this. They just do what they want with them because all kinds have to go to school and are entitled to leaern like everyone else. I would have a conference with the teachers, principle, and anyone else who is intregrel to his learning process. Dont let the problem stew try to fix it so it dosnt go to far.
