In reply to the discussion: School drops sexual harassment claim against 6-year-old [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)89. they did that. that failed. they talked to parents, that failed. so they took the next step and
kicked him out of school for a couple days.
now maybe the parents will do their job and teach a 6 yr old the boundaries he needs to successfully navigate social interaction. which is the priority for the kids at this age as much as the academics.
blame the parent that shrugged the shoulders. then be done with it. once the girls environment is comfortable for her and the boy learns much needed and appropriate boundaries.
