What would you do in this situation

A little girl in my sons class keeps calling him names after asking her to stop many many times he called her ugly and told her to leave him alone and pushed her. The parent of this girl comes to me to talk to me and says that I need to have my son quit calling her daughter names and I told her her daughter was also calling names. Because this child says she hasnt called him a name the girl is not reprimanded and the mother says it is not true even though other kids and the teacher heard this girl this. I talked to him about pushing but this mom wont stay outta my face about how great her kid is and how mine is a monster basically how. I have 3 weeks left in this class and I cant avoid her and she EXPECTS an apology for her daughter from my son and I AM NOT doing it. If she is not going to make her child be nice and not say things why should I make him apologize.

I dunno, I would probably tell my son to be 'the bigger person' and that God would want him to take the higher road and apologize to the girl. He did indeed call her a name and two wrongs don't make a right IMO. I am sorry that he is having trouble with that girl in class, that probably makes him very uncomfortable in school. to you both.

I guess I agree with Krista in this situation. I wouldn't want to do it either but you will definitely come out of the situation looking like the mature and reasonable parent. I hope you can get through the next few weeks.

why in the world would she want an apology in front of her? Did the teacher tell her that he did indeed apologize already? That is weird. What does Will say about it?

If he has already appologized than the mother needs to drop it. Most likely the kids moved on minutes after it happened and if they haven't it's because this arrogant parent won't let it go.

The teacher told her that before she confronted me about it and for some CRAZED reason as she said she EXPECTS a proper apology in front of her. The teacher said the girl wouldnt apologize to him but he did apologize to her.

I'd say forget it. He apologized and was the bigger person. The lady doesn't believe/trust the teacher either, geez. Just smile really big when you see this lady and try and ignore her. She's obviously one of those parents that thinks her child NEVER EVER does anything wrong.

I'd tell the mother to get over it. You can't expect him to apologize for it AGAIN days later, just to appease HER! I'd tell her that her daughter did indeed call your son names, and the teacher heard it for herself, but that doesn't excuse what your son did and because he was brought up so well, he has already apologized to her daughter and that's the end of it. If she wants to continue to harrass you over it, I'd take it to the Pre-K director and get her involved. I think it is absolutely ridiculous and I wouldn't give in to that crazy woman! No wonder her daughter is such a snot!

Russ said to just ignore her and her bratty child and the teacher said to just ignore the situation and if she pushed it we would talk to the director and she could handle it.

I would just tell her that I expected an apoplgy first, because her daughter started all this trouble and finally my son had had enough and fought back.

I know this type all too well. I had two moms like that when I was teaching Pre-K and you almost hated to see them coming.

Obviously, she started it, and everybody knows it. Sounds like the teacher has a plan. If anything else happens, I'd call the director. I know when we had issues, we were required to at least give the director a heads-up in case parents called her. I'd ignore her as much as possible and tell Will to stay away from the little girl as much as possible.

How retarded. If he already apologized for what he did he shouldn't have to apologize again. It sounds like the mother doesn't think her child can do wrong.

I think I would have the teacher talk to the mom. First of all, the TEACHER should have talked to the mom before it got to this point since she (the teacher) had heard this girl calling him names. If the teacher told the girl to stop and she didn't, she should have taken it up with the girl's mom. I would not have him apologize again. Make his teacher do her job.
