 I am angry that the teachers aren't doing their job ensuring that all of the children are safe from bullying. I was a victim of bullying when I was in grade & middle school. I am also hearing impaired so the kids in my class & teachers made fun of me because of my speech. If I knew then what I know now is that you are an advocate for your child. If you sense that there is something wrong, get your child to communicate to you what is going on. If I had told my parents what was happening, I think I would have had a whole different outcome today. One of the best lessons that you can teach your children is self-defense & give them a sense of self esteem. He should not be forced to eat by himself. The other child should be separated from the rest of the class. The teacher's job is to explain to your child's classmates is that your child is going to be a part of their class & they should all respect him even with a disability. She should tell them what the good things your child can teach them & they should all respect each other because they are all different.
