It's NONYA MANIS CATERER -
On 4 Jan, my son went to MSH with a smile on his face and he was excited about his new journey. But since then, his behaviour has changed from excited to withdrawn and angry.
I had a talk with him last night and it was heartwrenching. He told me there were boys bullying him in class. The bullying range from pushing him away from his assigned position in the queue, to pushing his table near him so that he feels squeezed while the boy in front of him gets space and finally to kicking his back twice while queuing up. He told me each time he told the teachers but they just walked away. He asked me why did his kindergarten teachers taught him not to fight back but inform teachers but when he did so, the teachers did nothing. He was very angry and yesterday his back hurt so much during the second kick that he kicked the boy back. Who could blame him? -
wow terrible, his form teacher did nothing?
do other parents hv boys being bullied?
is it a MSH thing or a boys sch thing?
wonder if i shd reconsider sending my boy there … -
Do they have comunication book? Maybe u can highlight this to the teacher? Just let the teacher knows nicely, I'm sure they won't allow such bullying.
On the other hand, when my boy was younger, when people accidentally hit him, not intentionally, he said people hit him and he was angry. :lol: -
They will be given a communication book but not yet. The pushing may be due to him being sensitive and the other boy being selfish wanting more space. But the kicking of his back was definitely bullying. Not sure if all happened during form teacher class but one of the pushing incident happened during PE.

Namie, you shouldn’t take the bullying lying down. What class is he in? Why no reaction from the teachers? If I were you, I would bring it up to the teachers & ask for an investigation to be done & get back to me. If the teachers don’t do anything or show no urgency in it, then don’t be afraid to go to higher authorities.
It shouldn’t go on or your son may develop a fear of going to school. It’s not healthy. The agressive boys should be taught to respect others & not be so rough. Sometimes, these boys don’t mean to bully. They may not understand that their agressive behaviour is hurting others. They are still very young & learning but if no one points it out to them that their behaviour is wrong, they keep doing it.
I have friends with sons in other boys’ schools & know enough that this kind of behaviour does not happen only in MSHS. Even the kids from mixed schools are not spared behaviour from their more agressive friends. We just have to keep communicating with our kids & teach them how to handle different situations & if need be, we intervene & seek help from the school to help handle the situation.
Hope things improve for your son soon. -
just email to the form teacher directly or PE teacher too.
or ask to transfer class if still like that? -
Bullying can take place anywhere even for adults at work. We are thinking it may be more important to teach him how to stand up to the bullies.
