When she met Andrew’s mom, it was obvious she thought her son’s bullying behavior was hilarious. Andrew’s mom claimed his mistreatment of his classmates wasn’t a problem and brushed it aside because he was only a child.
If Andrew’s mom had been in attendance at the party and if Andrew had been invited, she wouldn’t have controlled him or told him to stop since she didn’t think they were a problem in the first place.
“The school is 100% aware of Andrew’s actions. We’ve had meetings and discussions (some of them rather heated, especially after the pantsing incident,” she shared.
She was bullied at school as a child, so she knows how painful the experience is. She doesn’t want to let the bullying continue without doing everything she can to stop it. Aside from meetings and talks with the other parents of her son’s classmates, school administrators haven’t done much else to discipline Andrew and put an end to his behavior.
If Andrew’s parents don’t fix their potentially problematic behavior in their household, she doesn’t predict Andrew will stop bullying classmates at school. In her view, school administrators seem to be having a lot of talks but not taking action to resolve the issue. Staff members claim they keep a close eye on Andrew, yet he can get away with bullying classmates.
Her son told her that Andrew is discreet and only bullies students when staff members aren’t watching him. After school one day, not long ago, her son informed her that during recess, Andrew had attempted to get a group of students together for a game of Truth or Dare.
She explained to him that Truth or Dare wasn’t an age-appropriate game for them, and students shouldn’t play that game at school, no matter their age. Her son’s school staff members were told of the situation, and she hopes action will finally be taken.
What advice would you give her?
