I have a student who is an out and out bully. I've been out two days this week - Mon. and today. He got a two day in school suspension for bullying on Mon. Today he gets another suspension for bullying.

Dad is at his wit's end with the boy and wants to meet tomorrow - Friday - after school. Yeah, I'm sure that will be real productive. I've already had three meetings with these parents about their kid and his bullying. Right now I am just livid. WTF am I suppose to tell this parent. The parents have created a 12 year old monster who is manipulative and takes advantage of others when he can. Like when I'm not there. I cannot this fix this boy. He's been allowed to get away with so much stuff at home and there's not nearly enough supervision for him at home. I have no advice to give the parent. I am not a counselor.

And I'm not going to stop going to my medical appointments just because I have a loony kid who can't behave if I'm not there.

Anyway...thanks for reading.
