Matthew came home on Monday and asked me what a "Faggot" was. Last week he said he was being harrassed by some 8th graders on the bus. Apparently they are picking on him because he reads on the way home.
After last week's incident, he said he would talk to the bus driver and that we should not get involved. On Monday, before I left for work, I sent off a email to the principal, advising him of the problem. I received an immediate response, with a promise to investigate the matter today (Tuesday) and get back to me.
I told Matthew to sit at the front of the bus from now on, since personal experience shows that the kids in front are better behaved.
My wife and I have to control our parental instincts and desires to beat some sense into these 8th graders. Hopefully "the system" will take care of the problem.
