Yes we have been through this. We moved this year and for a couple months my son was being picked on by two boys. When no one was looking they would stomp on his foot, or kick his leg as he walked by, or something like that. He finally got up the nerve to tell me and I told him first to tell the teacher. He did this and the next week he said it was still happening. I sent the teacher an email saying I am extremely disappointed and this is totally unacceptable. I spelled out everything that had been going on as I heard it from my son. That day they called the boys to the principal's office and called their parents. They had them apologize to my son and they brought the counselor into his classroom to do a whole anti bullying program. My son was very embarrassed, but it worked. The bullying stopped and it all blew over. I think it's hard for kids because they do not want to be the "tattle tale" and to be the one looked down on by other kids, but telling the authorities at the school really is the best thing to do. If I were you I would send an email to the teacher, the principal, and to the bus driver/bus management. Get it in writing. Most schools now have a big anti bully program and they will take action.
