    Hi I'm lookin for some advice. I hav an 8 year old child who I feel is bein picked on an labelled in school.
    Over the last few years he had got in2 trouble numerous times. I know my son is no saint and can be extremely hard work at d best of times but now it's lik he has been labelled "the bold child" He is now at the stage that he does not want to go 2 school as he's afraid of his teacher giving out 2 him. He says she shouts and screams at him and blames him for any issues arisin in his group. And durin the week she grabbed him by the arms when givin out 2 him. His teacher is also the school principal.

    I could not get him in2 school this mornin because of this and he was makin himself sick in d car and was crying hysterically.

    I am goin in2 the school at the end of the school day to speak to the principal and I'm sur I will hav a battle ahead of me. I'm seeking advice of what steps I should take and advice would b great appreciated.

    Shouting/screaming and grabbing a child's arms are all unacceptable. I would however be concerned about behaviour that has already led to him becoming the go-to fall guy. Have you and the previous teacher discussed how best to overcome the behaviour in the past? I would not go in at the end of the day, but make a formal appointment to talk with the principal.
