My dad brag-
Yesterday after school I noticed my son (9) had some scrapes on his arm and sides. I asked him if he got those playing football at recess. Nope I got into a fight.
Really?
What happened?
I noticed 4 kids picking on another kid and I went over and told them to leave him alone. They kept pushing on him, and he was starting to cry, so I got in the middle of it.
So it was 1 on 4.
Yep.
Well, what happened?
A kid pushed me, and I kicked him, and then some other kids tackled me from behind, and I couldn't really punch them because they were on top of me, so I scratched one kid on the cheek and put my finger in another kid's eye. Then my friends came over and broke it up.
Did you get in trouble?
Nope. The teachers didn't notice.
I've told my kids to take stand up to bullies but I never thought it would actually happen so young. Plus he's one of the smaller kids in his class.
I got an email from his teacher and assistant principal today making us aware of what happened. They said there won't be any punishment but all those involved don't get to go to recess today. She said my son asked why did he get in trouble he didnt do anything wrong.
Anyway, he gets some ice cream tonight.
