Bullies in Kindergarten

Hello All. I guess I should preface this story a little. Logan got his first write up just days before Christmas break. I won't even get into why. He got another one two days after Christmas break was over. Again, won't get into that. So, when I got a phone call on Tuesday from the school principal, I let out an audible grown. He was quick to say, "No, NO, he's not in trouble." I replied, "then what happened?" He proceeded to tell me that Logan was in the bathroom. There was another Kindergartner in there who kicked Logan in the groin. He also told me that the child had been punished. He didn't tell me what the punishment was. When Logan got home and I asked him what happened he said, "I only said hi to him and then he jumped on my back and kicked me right here, pointing to his groin." He then told me, "but I didn't fight back." That night I had Parent Teacher Conference. The teacher told me that as a mother, I can rest assure that Dr. Storm took care of it and took care of it well. Because of Privacy codes she could not say more, but she said she thought Connor was a new man.

Then, Wednesday while I am trying to check out at the pharmacy, my cell phone rang. It was an excited Joy who proclaimed, "Logan got beat up at school again today." She then told me that while he was waiting for the bus to leave school, a child punched him and slapped him in the stomach. I told her I would call the school. I got a hold of Doctor Storm. He said, yes that did happen and told me he would be taking care of it when the child got back to school the next day. I expressed my concern over the rough week Logan was having and he said, yes, but Logan is making better choices. I am glad he is making better choices, but I am starting to agree with Bruce, maybe it is time for self defense classes.
