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.

Did anyone suggest "it takes one to know one" or "shut up!" "Make me!" "I don't make monkeys, I just train them!"

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!

Understand your frustration but in the school's eyes your daughter being violent in her actions trumps name calling. Keep in mind that if the other child was punished they're really not supposed to discuss it with you so there may have been something you're not aware of. My daughter hasn't been violent but does receive some bullying. I tried to give her options for dealing with it and she did not think "mom" could possibly help so I brought it up during a doctors visit.

He explained to her that children that tease others do so because they have "problems" (parents fighting, older siblings picking on them, etc.) and that is why they tease or bully. He told her to walk away and seek a teacher immediately. He also told her to feel sorry for those children because someone must not be very nice to them or they wouldn't learn to be so mean. It's worked so far, she's 8.

As for the words, I bet she's heard much worse than you know. Try telling her to go to the teacher and say - "Johnny called me a fayg, can you tell him what that means because I don't think he knows."
Bet that gets the teachers attention and your daughter did not tattle or use it in a bad way so she's off the hook and chances are Johnny's Mom will get a call.

Oh yeah, running to the teacher everytime someone calls her names will end the bullying and garner ALL kind of playground cred..

Felt the same way but hasn't been a problem. - Yet.
She doesn't need to tell the teacher just be near one, unless of course it was really bad. It's more of a leave the situation solution than anything else.

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..

If she can't handle name calling god help her when she gets older.....and yes she crossed the line....she hit him.

They hit you and you were justified in hitting them back.

I still stand with my opinion that name calling is no reason to hit anybody.

Be the stronger person and just walk away.

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.

And I think you have your terms wrong.. HE committed assault.. SHE committed Battery..

Again, I think this is right, it's been a few years..
