I want to get some imput from all of you and see what you would do or would handle regarding your child/children. If they have special needs this will be right there so you will know how much of in a corner I am in. My son is only 5 years old and a very very bright child. He is adhd, anxiety, and has aspergers. The aspergers makes him flap in excitement or when he is reading. Last year up until January was the year from hell, the teacher herself was picking on him, would throw him in LRC for doing basically his own "excitement thing" just basically being a wench. After we fought with them and the school board (school board was no help.) we had to take him out of school for 3 weeks then finally action in January, a new classroom, a better teacher, one we loved and viewed my son for him. Now this year we got a fantastic teacher. But now there are alot of students picking on him, he is only 5 years old, and in 1st grade. At the end of the year is when he started to come out of his shell and tell us his feelings. But the problem was he would come home and was so proud of himself for "not flapping all day" and they tell me so and so would tell me to flap, I took this as a picking on him behavior. So I let this go for a day, and then there was more kids involved, but what really pissed me off was a 5th grader that was suppose to help the 1st graders to the bus was doing the extent of it. So I said enough and went to the school, we had a talking to the lrc teacher and his regular teacher and they told me they would talk to him. So it continued and then another little girl from his classroom got involved and started bugging him while he was doing his work, I asked him do you tell your teacher? He said no, but before all of this I had empowered him and told him when anyone asks you to do this say "NO!" and walk away if you can or ignore them. So anyways, he has been trying to avoid the bus and today of all days would not go and did not want to go to school, well on the bus I found out that one girl wrote a post it note and placed it on the neighbor girl and it said  "di$$head" the bus driver asked her what she wanted done with the girl and the neighbor girl said nothing she apologized and my neighbor said that was fine. But now there is a kindergartner picking on my son, telling him to flap, I just wished that I could tell him to beat the crap out of these kids, because I do not feel that it is right for them to pick on him, he can not control it. So I talked with him a little more tonight and told him to say "No! leave me alone" and if it doesn't stop tell another adult. I am so sick of these kids picking on him. What would you do? And what would be the next step? It feels like I am at that school constantly because of these kids, but come on a kindergartener picking on him. Should I get the principal involved? She is as useless as a hemrroids on a bores butt.
