Thank you for the prayers. If the school continues to minimize our concerns we plan on pulling him.

One hundred percent. More so for women who settled down late and have trouble conceiving.

I homeschooled them for a year and loved it, but my kids love their school. If it continues without satisfactory resolution though, I believe we will be forced to make that decision.

We have talked to the parents and their position is that there son was scared and has a right to defend himself. They also acknowledged that my son has not bullied their son, but said that as a leader and someone who the boys in the grade look up to, he should be their son’s advocate.

Yep. I don’t think it matters that he has not been bullied if he believes he has been bullied and wants revenge. I know this was the case with several school shooters.

Thank you. That’s exactly how my husband and I are feeling. We aren’t even asking them to expel the kid, but we do want them to take the threats seriously and don’t understand why his small size or on the spectrum diagnosis matters.

In light of the information coming out about the GA school shooter I’m more fired up than ever about a situation my son is involved in at school. A boy in my son’s grade has accused my son of bullying him half a dozen times. Half the incidents have been proven false via video footage -my son was not even present 2 of the three times. Two incidents involved locker room jokes about deer testicles and “your mama so fat” between his friends that this kid wasn’t a part of but he overheard them and found it offensive. The last incident involved my son breaking up a fight with this student and an even smaller student. A week later this boy pulled a knife on my son at school and threatened to kill him because his dad is military and has trained him to kill. The threats of physical violence have continued this year and this kid has a strong infatuation with guns (presentations on guns, projects about guns and talks about guns constantly) The school’s position is “Your son is so big, there is no threat,” “Your son is literally a foot taller than this kid,” “This boy is on the spectrum and doesn’t always know what he is saying,” “I’m pretty sure your son could handle himself if he felt threatened.”

I am livid and today threatened involving law enforcement if it continues. I’d rather be wrong and considered an overzealous mom than right and students including my son get hurt.

What do you think and how would you handle this if it were your child?

Penis is hope.

Likely in our future when the kids graduate but for now it’s easiest to commit to healthy living.

I love it! Commit yourself to health and stack sats, not health insurance.

Yep. It was a catastrophe for our small business.

I would if your family premium is high and no one in the family has a chronic condition that necessitates visits to their physician numerous times a year. Run the numbers.

Self pay is the way imo as long as you have catastrophic covered. For example my son ended up needing to go to the ER for a wrist xray this year. The $2700 bill we received magically became $300 when we said we didn’t have health insurance coverage.

This was the health insurance renewal rates we received from our PEO for our practice in 2023. We would have paid almost $5k a month for our family to get the same level of mediocre coverage we had in 2022. Almost $60k in premiums and we still would have had copays, prescriptions and a $12k family deductible.

Instead we chose to self pay doctors’ visits, use online physicians when possible and have a catastrophic health sharing plan. Our medical costs for 2023? $7816
