So my bigger twin had a "fight" today at school. Apparently, the "bully" said something about my son's athletic ability or lack their of, and so my son pushed down the other kid, and proceeded to punch him in the head. They are both in 5th grade which is the oldest class in this school. The P.E. teacher broke up this skirmish and told my son don't worry about this everything is ok, and proceeded to tell him that the other kid will received a lot more "butt whuppin's" next year when they go to Middle School.
My wife mind you grew up in a very affluent family/neighborhood/school system never received a spanking (well until we met!) caught me off guard when she said, "you should have punched a few more times in the face, and once we was on the ground you should have kicked him in the head!" I was like "SLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW down!" Mind you I grew up in a pretty rough part of town, always saw fights daily, was always getting "kicked" out of school for fighting, drugs were all over the place, never got a of spanking compared to being hit up side my head, or just verbally brow beaten. And, I had to be the voice of reason.
We speak to our son and come to find out several kids have transferred from his class to other classes because of the bully's behavior. Seems the bully has been a disruption all year, and causes the entire class to miss recess, or whatever fun entertainment is scheduled for the week. When my wife spoke to these other kids parents they stated, "when we spoke to the school about the bully's picking our kids, they wanted the kids to resolve the conflict among themselves."
So my wife proceeds to tell our son, "It is your duty the rest of the year to make sure the bully doesn't pick on anyone else!" "If the school is not going to protect these little kids, and wants them to resolve the problems among themselves, why By Golly you are now everyone's bodyguard!"
So, after my wife spits fire and venom because her little boy is in his first "Fight" calms down, I take him aside and say "buddy if you are in a fight with someone and they show signs of giving up, covering their head, rolling over, running away the fight is over. No need to keep punching on a kid once your point has been made." My son goes on to say that he is so mad at the bully because the teacher has to yell at him all the time during class about being a disruption taking time way from doing fun stuff. I told him that their is only a few weeks left of this school year, and hopefully next year will be better. But, each year will bring a different challenge and you have to be able to cope with A-holes your entire life, you don't get to leave them in 5th grade, they follow you forever.
Today is his first day back after the "rumble" so we will see what transpired when he gets home. Also, have not heard from the teacher yet.
:FIGHT:
