The super amazing Joshua

Here comes the moment when I just have to brag about my child.

Fact: Joshua was being bullied in school.

My solution: request a parent/teacher/principal meeting (which will happen tomorrow morning)

His solution (as told to me by his teacher): Joshua finished his math assignment first, which is not an unusual occurrence and his teacher asked him if he would be willing to help some of the other students. He wandered around for a little bit, giving help here and there (rather like a teacher would), and then headed toward the back table where the bully sits. At this point he asks the bully if he would like some help with his math. The bully accepted his help.

When I asked Joshua about this his response was, "I figured if I helped him, maybe we could get along instead of him bullying me."

Brilliant child!
