Caleb's Bully Update

Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback and suggestions on Caleb's bully situation.  As a teacher, I know how thick this problem can be, and yet it still surprised me to hear from so many of you that deal with this issue too.

This week has been SO MUCH BETTER.  Caleb's teacher talked to the bully about the problem, and the boy started crying.  He said that he was just playing.  I don't know if that is true or not, but then the teacher then sat the two of them next to each other.  They now share a desk.  This lady is on to something, because the problem has stopped.  

I have to admit that his teacher is incredible.  She really pushes the kids.  She has them doing triple digit division problems with remainders and triple digit multiplication problems (345 x 5) at the end of second grade.  These kids are on the BALL, and she rocks it with high expectations.  It is awesome.

Hopefully this is the end of the bullying issues...  we'll see, and we may even follow the advice to have the bully over for lunch one day!
