Offspring the third is being teased by a small group of his classmates. Tender and vulnerable, he is unable to shrug off their words and actions, but instead takes them to heart and comes home with tears of frustration welling in his fifth grade eyes. He has been quite brave, and most remarkably, he has exhibited significant self-restraint in not physically reacting to the situation.
His teachers and the school authorities are fortunately taking matters quite seriously. It is hoped (and expected) that the
malfeasants will be corrected and the teasing will stop. I long to send a large, ominous, protective shield to school with him. I cannot conjure a
patronus, alas. If only I had a land shark to help.
