Dealing With Kicking @ School

Photobucket

So your kid comes back home the last couple of weeks complaining that the boy sitting next to her had been kicking her – what do you do..?? Well, we tried to determine if it was accidental or was it on purpose of course. And the kid said.. the other kid just loved swinging his legs. So we let it go.. and told her to speak up.. and ask him to stop kicking her – and if he was still swinging his legs at her.. then she should tell her teacher.

Unfortunately, for us – Chloe seems to have lost her voice when it comes to telling her teacher about things. So a few days ago, she came back with bruises and she thinks that it was because of the kicking – we think it is irritating her more than the bruises. And like any good mummy, we wrote a ” From Chloe’s Mommy” note… to the teacher – telling her that it had to stop – to please assist. Well, you would be pleased to know that her principal called immediately the same day .. the note was sent in. And suggested that we asked Chloe to voice up. And then another note came back from Chloe’s teacher.. that we should encouraged her to voice up too. Now, you would think that they should know this is our last resort .. because if Chloe would voice up .. we wouldn’t have to right the note right..?? So I wrote a note back to the teacher, thanking her .. for dealing with our concerns.. and also let her know that we did encourage chloe but to no avail. What would you have done..??
