You know in your heart the truth that that child is in a far better place. The classroom is supposed to be a place to learn and grow. You know that for a child with no mental or physical problems cannot grow and be healthy if they are treated the way that kid was treated. Bullied kids grow up defeated and can have depression, low self esteem, inferiority complex, stress related health issues, built up anger and bitterness, feeling of being an outcast, hopelessness, worthlessness, increased illnesses, suicidal thoughts/tendencies, and loss of trust. You KNOW that you did the right thing so chin up. Being a hero is tough work and you are a hero for standing up for that kid. May you get a box of chocolates in your Christmas stocking.I hope you're right. I explained that I have a 6 yr old HFA so that they knew I was coming from the same place they are, but who knows. At least he is out of that class.
