Today a kid did this on purpose to get him upset. DS told on him. The kid said the ant bit him. DS says he was lying because he saw the ant and it was crawling with its head up.
DS started crying and had to sit out at recess.
Thoughts?
This isn't an issue of empathy or compassion from the school's perspective... this is a straight up bullying issue.
If they can't deal with bullying as an issue the higher level issues don't matter. This isn't a kid/invertebrate issue it is a kid/kid issue... The school needs to be supportive.
