Home Schooling
Discussion
If someones kid is being bullied, why not grow a pair and go actually deal with it? You're not talking about your kid missing out on a one off swimming class or a game of football or something... this is both their childhood and their future so why f
k around if some scumbag is making your kids life miserable right now and risking ruining their future via you opting them out of education too?
If someone was bullying my teenager brother and the school couldn't or wouldn't sort it, I'd be going round to the bullies house to have a chat with the bullies dad asap. He might not even know and be suitably embarrassed when told. Or you could just threaten he's going to be the one getting it back if he doesn't stop it. I know st like that often isn't the answer... but here I'd say its acceptable.

Our eight years old son gets bullied in schools alot.
Our 4 years old daughter is in nursery and the other day she came home telling us that her friend told her that she wants to kiss boy on lips.
socialising is not bad who are you socialising with is more important.
I hope you're going to get someone else to teach them English. Our 4 years old daughter is in nursery and the other day she came home telling us that her friend told her that she wants to kiss boy on lips.

My 4yo daughter has been married 3 times now. Twice to boys and once to a girl.
My 5yo looked sad. He said that the other boys were being mean to him, not physical violence but excluding him from games, It wasn't true. I spoke to teachers about it and they confirmed he was usually the ring leader or central in most games. My point is, kids make stuff up sometimes so it's worth checking before removing them from school or charging in and accusing the school of not doing their job.

My 8 year old complains that children tell her to go away and won't let her join in their games. From careful questioning, as I had really started to get concerned, it turns out she's trying to join in with the year 6s, 3 years ahead of her.
She isn't getting married however. Apparently her best friend is getting married to a boy in their class and my daughter will be moving in with them.
I also look after my niece, who is very sensitive and feels she is bullied a lot. However she us quite sharp with other children, due to anxiety, which doesn't help at all. She I'd just starting secondary school and I am going to try mindfulness (from a therapist specialising in child anxiety) in the hope that this will help her a bit too.

I do wonder whether "bullying" hasn't undergone a sort of inflation, when I was at school bullying was rather more than someone just not wanting to play with you, kids sorting that sort of thing out is just learning social norms. On the marrying front, I'm all sorted my 5 year old and 3 year old have both now picked the boys their marrying, all I have to do now is persuade them to have a joint wedding and I can save a shedload of £.

Hi,
Anyone Home Schooling in Berkshire area?
Yea weird people who want their kids to grow up social misfits and dependent on them because they're frightened of an empty nest! Seriously school is about a lot more than academic lessons, and the teaching. You'll make your kids weird. Anyone Home Schooling in Berkshire area?
