But kids need to be at school to learn and where do they hear the words r3t@rd (1st incident) and fayg (2nd incident) - is someone calling them this at home???? Kids are already hard enough to raise without other kids interfering.....ok, now I'm whining!

Your kidding right? Where do you think over 60% of kids learn about sex and bad language...talking to friends in school.

With that being said, I guess I don't get why your upset with the boy..:confused:

Yes he is calling NAMES, and bad names at that which is wrong but come on it's a name.......but your daughter crossed the line when she physically touched him.....as adults it's called assault.

If she can't ignore the name calling then teach her some snappy comebacks then everyone will be laughing at him..........

Actually if he is 10 then he probably has a crush on her and is trying to get her attention....believe it or not.

But wait, there's more...
Being called a name warrants an ass-beating nowadays? :confused:

DQ comes home all the time :blahblah: about how some kid in school said this or that, or called her a name. She knows to ignore it/them ... that kids who call other kids names don't possess more constructive, intelligent thoughts, so they pick on others. Then, later in life, she'll be the lawyer putting them in jail, or the doctor stitching up the gashes they get for opening their ignorant mouthes.

Now, if it gets physical, she knows the rule ... "don't throw the first punch/kick/slap; just the last." :really:

The problem with reporting name-calling is that you get into the whole "he-said"/"she-said" thing. I didn't advocate my kids fighting at school but there were times they stood up for themselves out of necessity. Somebody jumped on my son - that's a necessity. Then he shot up to 6' tall & filled out.My youngest daughter could fire back lines that would cut her enemies down to size and hold her own just fine. My oldest daughter would either verbally fight somebody who said something with name-calling of her own or be trying to take them on physically. She was very scrappy for a little thing and I never could get it thru her hard-head to knock it off. My kids were considered "good" kids but they were not perfect and those were not the ideal solutions for the name-calling and fighting problems either!

That's not true. In this case, two wrongs definitely made a right. I'd have hit him with a bowling pin, too. At least he's not squirting her with his juice box. I hear that's the true declaration of love among the elementary school set.

:yay: I don't see bopping someone with a plastic bowling pin for being called a name, but if he had slapped her or something, all bets are off. :boxing:

She'll still get in trouble/suspended even if someone hits her first. I went through this last year with my son. :ohwell:

If there were no witnesses how did she get in trouble??

Did the BOY run to the principal/teacher the minute she retaliated??

She needs to start calling him a ball-less transvestite that can't take being manhandled by a little girl..

I don't think sqirting him with hand soap, and smacking him in the head with a plastic bowling pin should result in a suspension or anything other than a talking to.. Boy's just a pussy and will whine to the nearest teacher about ANYTHING she does.. most boys would take what she did as a joke and laugh it off.

Assault?? Your kidding right? No wonder our kids are so f'ed up..

She bopped him in the head with a PLASTIC bowling pin for christ's sake...

Someone raised their son to be a little priss.. I'd back up the girl on this one, and tell the little ball-less boy to shut the hell up and get back to class.

He's learning now how to get away with what he can.. and he's learning skills he'll use well into adulthood.. '

She, on the other hand, is learning skills she can use well into adult hood.. don't sit down and take abuse.. YOU are in charge of what you will allow and not allow, and how you want to be treated.. Good for her!!

If I was her parent maybe tell her to try to handle it different.. but I wouldn't punish her for standing up and not letting someone abuse her in ANY way.. Hell I'd give her a highfive for beating the boy with the PLASTIC pin.. punkass that he is..

I'm really surprised at some of the reactions on here. You'd think I'd be jaded and cynical after all these years, but some people still have the power to shock me.

If Doug would have come home and told me that some little girl squirted soap at him or whacked him one, I'd have said, "Don't call people names, then."

maybe you should tell your little girl to just ignore him when he calls her names. Eventually like all the male species, he's only looking for attention. He'll get bored and leave her alone when he doesn't receive the attention he's looking for, positive or negative.

Your daughter should not have resorted to violence because of name calling, she was wrong and should be punished by you as well. She got away with it the first time and did it again, nip it in the bud now before she believes violence is the answer to her problems. Now if he hits first, then it's on. She has every right to defend herself from a physical altercation.

I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but that's my opinion and you asked.

Oh for ####'s sake! Violence! Whacking with a plastic bowling pin and squirting soap!

You people have led severely sheltered lives if that's your idea of violence. You all remind me of that joke about the Democrat, the Republican, and the Redneck getting attacked by a knife-wielding maniac. And you all are the Democrats.
