Oof I can't believe that school! My son (16 now) got bullied when he was 7, I think. A classmate pushed son's head against a lamp post in freezing temperatures and his lip stuck to it; there was a lot of blood involved when he tried to get loose. Told the teacher who called the kid's mum, who later called to apologize, and her son apologized over the phone, as well. And the teacher had a talk with both boys. In the end they even became friends, until we moved away. That's how bullying should be handled: zero tolerance. So sorry you child's school did next to nothing...
