The principal needs to give the children a consequence. If the principal cannot stop the kids from bullying then perhaps a suspension should be ordered?
This happened with my son. Finally the principal switched him to a different bus. This helped. The boys had detentions and other consequences. It did not completely stop until my son was taken off of the bus.
If it will not stop then you may want to consider police involvement. You can press charges. Perhaps then the school and the parents will take it seriously.

If you can homeschool, that is best - for many reasons. Everyone says "what about socialization?" Well, with the kind of "socialization" your child is getting at public school - why would any parent want that to continue. The "educrats" in public school administration are do nothing know-it-alls. I would demand the principle take immediate action or contact your school board and lodge a formal complaint. Bullying can psychologically damage a child!

My husband and I have taught our 8 y.o. the following:
If someone is doing something that hurts (physically) or is putting you in danger, ASK them nicely to stop. If the person does not stop, TELL them to stop (second chance). If they continue, ACT! Do whatever needs to be done to get them to stop. If someone disregards two requests to stop hurting you, you can be sure they mean to hurt you and you must do what needs to be done to stop them from doing so.
I would again talk to the prinicipal then go to the school board. Also, bring it up at a PTA meeting – there are probably other kids who are in the same situation and it might help to get parents talking about it and coming up with solutions. Also, if it becomes clear to parents that the administrators are unwilling to deal with the problem, then that should be a red flag for the parents and the impetus to do something about it. The parents of the bullies could also be talked to – they might not be aware of what is going on.
With that being said, we have no problems with that since we home school. For us, our decision to home school was based on concerns we had about the PS system - drugs, gangs, violence and so on, concerns about the teaching and educational standards of the PS system and our desire to be the influencers of our daughter rather than her peers. The question many people ask about socialization is laughable, as can be seen in your problem. Who needs that kind of socialization anyway? Being beat up, roughed up, learning how to curse and be rude and disrespectful to adults?
Also, we are training our children to become adults, not to remain children. No adult I know of interacts only with people his/her own age. Most home schooled kids I know are really well socialized. They are able to interact with people of all ages, and actually look adults in the eye. That’s a far cry from what I experience with kids who only interact with others the same age.
Home schooling, while a very powerful option, is a very personal choice. None of us can or should say if you should home school your child. In your heart and mind, you need to make the decision of whether you are willing and able to put forth the time, the effort, the love and the discipline to make it work for you.
Home schooling will NOT ruin your child’s social life. And as to knowing your child is getting the “proper unbiased education” – are teachers unbiased? So many of them are against home schooling because it is a threat to their livelihood. On the other hand, other teachers wish they could home school their child(ren) because of what they see every day in the schools. Just remember – parents have taught their children at home for longer than there have been public schools.

I would take it further up the administration because other children will be suffering as well. However, if you can homeschool I would definitely do it. You can give your child time to heal and find themselves again. They can find joy in learning and know that their parent will never leave them at the mercy of a bully. It is not running away. It is leaving a toxic situation to regroup and grow strong. If this happened to an adult they could turn to the police, they could move or change jobs, they would not be forced to return to the same situation over and over again with no chance of escape.
Good luck!

We do home school for this and many reasons, but only you can decide if home school is right for you. Do you have the time, the energy, the inclination? It is possible to work and home school I do. There are many ways to home school and for us it takes only 2 or 3 hours a day. It also depends on what state you live in as to the laws governing it.

I dont know, but you better do something, and soon. I was a victim of bullying and it really damages you mentally. You have no idea how much I've suffered because of something that's happend 4 years ago. If your child has endure the pain of bullying long enough, they're going to still feel the scars long down the road.
Please do something. :(

Tell your kid to grow a spine and stand up for himself. Schools can't do anything if they don't witness the bullying. The other kids could just say that your kid did it too.
