Dear Queenie,
My son is very smart and at his school that makes him a victim of bullies, kids that are not as smart as he is. His teachers didn’t help him with the bullies so I talked to the principal but things just kept getting worse. All this business with distance learning has helped a little, but when my son is actually in school things are still bad. They get on his case because he is the “teacher’s pet”.
Queenie, what more can I do about this?—Worried mother
Dear Mother,
Talk to the teacher and the principal again, and if that does not help, talk to the school board. As a last resort, you could consult a lawyer, because the school has an obligation to deal effectively with this sort of problem.
You should also consider sending your son to a different school, possibly a private school if you can afford it or can get some help with the expense.
