More school aggression

I'm glad it was not your son also ,but the school need to find out why? this child bites . I have found out working with children that children bite for many reasons - mostly out of frustration or out of the reaction - some because it is their defence against others. With my little kids it is mostly out of frustration -but I have also had children as old as 7 or 8 bite and mainly because they wanted something or it got a great reaction. It not right to just let someone bite others -maybe the school could recomend a counciler to find out why the child bites. Bobbi -ne

The home environment for this boy encourages male dominance. Okay let me just say it in simple terms-Dad has "anger issues" with mom (known for a fact). I am assuming that this boy is probably witnessing or experience some of these "anger issues" and not knowing how to cope when he gets frustrated he does what he thinks is okay because he sees it at home.

I will agree that some behavior might be learned from home , but I deal with all kind of folks. some treat their kid like an item -some folks are really self serving, some parents really care. I have had really physically abused kids. And some do lash out -if you think this is going on -it is your job to call the athorities. I have a girl now that her father can not have contact with her or mom -why because he bit the mother on the back and tried to stangle her -and the girl well she is really confused - being 5 it hard to understand - why? I am glad her mother moved her from this situation , but this has happened twice before -I am sure she take him back -my job is to be a good influnce on her and not to judge - Good luck Bobbi -ne

Oh Kim, this isn't good at all. At the first part of the school year my youngest son had a problem with another boy in his class. Everyday on the playground this boy would ask my son to join this third grade club. My son would tell him no, but when he said no, the other boy would kick him in the growing area. The first time it happened I told him to go to the teacher. The second time we talked to the teacher. She looked into the sitution, and then went to the principal. A week later the school was calling us to tell us what had been done to take care of this. Come to find out, this little boy has an older brother in high school. And the older brother was telling him to do these things at school. Because that's how the older kids did it. It was a club that was teaching the younger kids how to beat up everyone that told them no. The boy was suspended from school for a week, and so was his older brother. We haven't had anymore problems since.

not good at all. I don't really know what to tell you, I mean if taking away the child's recess isn't working there needs to be more severe means to deal with this, but knowing how the school system works not much else will be done. I'd quite honestly just look out for your son and tell him to just avoid that boy for now.

I certainly hope that someone finds help for this young man, before it's to late (school has all the rights to do something here). This child is calling out for help, it sounds like...

OMG if there is one thing that really grosses me out it's biting !!! The human mouth is soooo nasty. It seems like a school would know that and get that kid some help !!! He surely needs it !!! If a kid is biting like that there is always something behind it !!!!!
