<p>Uncoccermom- my heart goes out to your family. I completely agree with Sax. As a public school teacher and mother of a small seventh grade boy, I can promise you that you have only heard a small part of how bad it probably is for your son at that school. Is homeschooling for now a possibility? My son, who plays on a championship soccer team and has a nice group of friends has responded to the 7th grade bullies by deliberately sabotaging his grades “Mom. they torture you if you’re smart.” We convinced him to at least keep them at an A- level so that he can apply to private school for 9th grade.</p>
