BULLYING -- Parent concerned for her child

My son is 11 and in the fifth grade. He has been getting bullied in school. I've had enough. I have brought it up to the principal and teacher on several occasions and all I get is, "I don't see this kid doing such a thing," "I have never had a problem," and "He's getting such good grades." Grades don't tell a child's behavior in school and their grades should not be judged at all. It has gotten to the point where a child needs to bring some sort of protection. A child should not feel unsafe at school at any time. It is the school's responsibility to make sure our children are safe. If a child is feeling unsafe, are our children really safe at our Moses Lake schools? I think we need to do all we can do to stop this bullying. The schools say they don't allow it but they don't see the bullying one bit. They bullying is starting on my kindergartener by another fifth grader. I'm out of ideas on what to do in situations like this. I feel like no one wants to take the time to sit and listen to what us parents have to say about our children. It is not wasting any time when it concerns our children.
