DD, in yr 8.Didn't want to go to school today because of something which happened in one of her classes.
Teacher was outside the class door talking to another pupil about their behaviour(she says).They should all of been working.Another child(boy) gets up out of his seat, comes over to DD, pulls her hair and takes the glasses from her face.Goes back to his seat where he mucks about putting them on and passing them back round to his friends to put on.DD is mortified and really embarrased as you can imagine.Teacher comes back in and bawls out class as I think they had been laughing.Doesn't notice that DD is not wearing glasses or that boy has glasses on his desk.
The children settle back to get on with their work and DD has to go to boys desk to try and get her glasses back.Boy makes her smile which she hates doing then puts glasses on floor and pretends to step on them.DD finally gets them back.She is kept back after class to finish off work.Teacher is not aware of what has happened.DD is scared of boy not not just that, he has a gang.Apparently he just targets girls.
She didn't want to tell me and I fully understand why as she is really scared of the consequences, there will be repercussions from this as people are calling her a snitch already.
I met with the Head of Year this morning, she wasn't going back into school until I had spoken to someone I felt that strongly.DD told him what had happened and he wrote it all down.DD then made her own statement.What they seem to do at her school is to get both parties together in the same room.Why do they do that? DD was crying this morning, there is no way she would want him to see her cry.The boy has been in isolation all day.
When I asked the HOY what would happen to the boy, he said he couldn't tell me, why is that?
What will happen now R.E finding out from the school what they have done/are going to do?
My daughter said when she was talking to the Deputy, he said it might become a matter for the police, under what grounds does anyone know?
Any insight from Secondary teachers , those that might know would be gratefully received, sorry it's so long.I can't find out about the schools polices online, am I meant to ask for them? There must be a step by step proceedure they carry out, this is bullying but is it also something else because of the fact my daughter wears glasses and as soon as he took them off her head she was compromised?
