"hi i know i've commented before, and again, thank you all for your help, but this time i'm here for advice more than anything. see my younger brother Sean is 8 and has ADHD, he's also tall for his age. in school he is bullied all the time. when he tells the teachers he is either ignored, or the bullies make up stories that Sean is in the wrong so he gets into trouble. because of his tall size, older boys pick fights with him."

(continued from description) "When i went down to the school for work experience, i saw where Sean sits in the clas.sroom. for someone with ADHD he needs to be up front near the teacher, but despite knowing this the teacher has put him at the back, on his own! She doesn't seem to bother about him at all! i've told my mum about it and she's gone to the teacher. the teacher said she'd move him to the front...yeah right...he's still down the back..
I just want to know if there's anything i can do?
thanks again for the help last time and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Have your mom go to the scholl admistrater. This is wrong, the teacher needs reported. Not to the princi pal, but to the actual admistrations office who is in charge of that school. I hope this helps. I wish you and your family the best!

Angelbear is right. If the teacher will not act, you'll need to go over her head. There has been a lot of publicity around schools that let this kibd of thing pass, so I'm sure the administrators will make sure to change things before they end up in the news too. I can understand how maybe the teacher is burnt out. She thought teaching would be fun, but now she's just trying to make it to retirement. I've had many teachers like that. But parents place their children in school and trust they'll be okay. When that trust is broken, the parent has the right to demand action. In the mean time, try to support your brother by giving him advice on how to avoid the bullies and fights and ask him which places feel like the safest ones at school and which school staff members and even teachers who are not his own seem the most passionate about helping children. It might be a good idea to have him moved to another cla.ssroom with a more involved teacher. Your mom can tell the school this.

thank you both so much. this really mean a lot. to be honest, things have gotten a bit better since i posted the comment, but only a bit. Sean's finally been put up the front so that's good, but the teacher still isn't the best by far. see, we live in ireland so the school system's a bit different to that in america and other places. plus it's a small school. there's only two classrooms, so only two full time teachers, but there's also a classroom assistant and a few other teachers who come in on certain days for those who need extra help. The two main teachers are Sean's and the princapal. There's four year groups in each room. In Sean's it's junior infants, senior infants, first and second class and in the other room 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class. Sean's in second so he'll be moving to the other room next year. the princapal isn't much better, but we'll see how things go. some of the older boys who'd fight with him are leaving this year too, so things will hopefully be better

You're welcome and hopefully you're right about things changing when the new schoolyear begins. And it's true that things are different here, because everyone's afraid of lawsuits and bad press. But where you live shouldn't effect if you're treated fairly. *HUGS*
