1st grade goings-on

There is a boy in Owen's class who is sort of a mean kid and has been bullying some of the other kids, and early this week Owen and another friend got drawn in and started participating in some of the teasing behaviors. I met with the teacher along with the mothers of boy 3 and the victim and we have been working hard to get it to stop. Yesterday went a lot better after our discussion - there were no negative behaviors. I hope today does as well. The parents of the ringleader have blown it all off to a large degree and think "boys will be boys." This boy was sent to the principal's office yesterday and had a talk with her along with his father so I hope that might help things. Ugh. School gets out tomorrow for a couple of weeks so hopefully that will give everyone a chance to cool down.
