I agree with the suggestion about martial arts. My daughter is in taekwondo and it has been wonderful. They have a specific curriculum that addresses bullying issues. I have been trying to convince my son to try it and maybe this will help encourage him to try.

I think the careful description of what happened is a good idea to make sure that everything is documented and communicated. I'm really becoming discouraged about being able to resolve this, though. My son is really upset. He needs to get better at standing up for himself and asking for help, but I think this is only making it harder for him to do that because he is so discouraged as well.

I'm thinking about just pulling him out for either homeschool (with taekwondo or some other activity to help work on his social skills and confidence) or to move him to the charter school his sister attends. It just seems a shame as he enjoyed school so much until recently.
