Hi
I put this in bullying but it's not really bullying more persistant aggressive behaviour but anyway...
A child in ds's class Year 3 has been on a 'programe' as the teachers put it since reception. He is extremely aggressive physically (big child for his age and getting bigger)and swears constantly. He is disruptive in class and is mostly allowed to do as he likes as the teaching staff do not want to 'rile' him by asking gim to sit down and do as told. he gets 'extra playtimes' as ds put it where he is taken out to the playground by a TA inbetween playtimes to run around in an attempt to stop his aggressive behaviour and disruption in the class.
He physically hurts children every week. Unfortunaly both my children have been his victims in the last 2 weeks alone casuing me to come and speak to the head and now demand something is done. I have told them I am no longer comfortable with sending my children to the school as the number of incidences regrding this a child alone are getting beyond ridiculous. I personally feel the school does not have the facilities to help him (he is not statemented and does not have a daily extra TA for him alone although sees someone once a week)
The aggressive incidence are getting more and more worrying. I have now asked the head just how badly doesn another child have to be hurt before action is taken.
The language he uses is completely unnacceptable for a 7 year old and although Im= may sound like I want to wrap my own children in cotton wool, I dont - I just resent my 7 year old being told be is a ucking ucker almost everyday (and it is not just my child hence the reason I am not saying my child is being bullied as it's more general to all the children)
The child swears at the teachers and TA's and has even told the TA he will punch her *ucking face in on a number of occasions.
Am I being precious in thinking this is unreasonable behaviour?!
I personally feel the child needs special help and I do not think he is goingto get that at a mainstream school and I do resent that my children welfare is at risk while he stays at this school. I know many other parents who feel the same and are getting increasinly worried as the child is very big and strong and is getting bigger and therefore the injuries sustained by children he hurts are getting worse.
I know the school are treading carefully as there are issues at home, but surely if they have tried for 3 years with this boy and things are not getting better but worse and more dangerous for other children in the school, they need to re think things?
IMO the school have a duty of care and if I and other parents have strong concerns for our children while they are at school due to this child, then surely they are failing us and the boy concerned.
What should I do? What can I do, if anything?
