 | There is a lot of cruelty at school. Much of what is included in the "socialization" of the school environment is harmful.
Have you thought of homeschooling? The combination of parental guidance, closeness and example, along with exposure to the "real world" of family and community (as opposed to the artificial world of being confined with hundreds of one's own immature age-mates)adds up to excellent socialization.
If that's not an option, do whatever it takes to to keep your daughter away from these girls. They must not be permitted to harrass her day after day. The stress is both physically and emotionally harmful. It will also interfere with learning. No healthy adult would put up with such a thing in either employment or social situations. Why should a child have to? How many employers would tolerate one employee verbally harrassing another on the job?
You're a great mom to take this seriously and be determined to do something about it. I wish I had a magic bullet. I agree that talking with the teacher and asking for his/her suggestions, insight and help is the first step.
I think it's reasonable to insist to the teacher that these girls be required to keep away from your daughter. If the teacher is unresponsive, contact the principle, then the school district authorities. If you don't get results immediately, have a lawyer contact the district office. That'll get their attention. |
