OT: I hate public schools.

Yep.

Sorry your daughter is having to deal with this, flu. Unfortunately, you’ll get the same thing in a lot of private schools, too. It’s why a lot of parents send their kids to religious schools, even if the parents aren’t religious — these schools tend to better enforce rules against bullying and they often discourage cliques (at least some do).

This is when parenting gets tough, IMHO. Nothing sucks more than watching your kid get hurt, emotionally or physically.

Hopefully, your daughter will meet a few really nice kids so she can ignore the mean ones. That’s the best defense.

One thing I can say I learned in school… Was how to fight. I got my ass kicked… ALOT! But I never decisively lost a fight. That is the key. You might lose to the bully… You usually do because they are bigger, but if you fight hard enough they won’t want to try you again. Each of my bullys moved on to harrassing someone else after fighting me.

You don’t have to win… Only earn thier respect and show that your not a mark.

I was a puss until seventh grade when the nieghborhood bully cornered me into a fight. I kicked his ass till he ran home crying. Didn’t have to fight again until the 10th grade. That one incident bought me three years worth of respect.

Well worth it.

They broadcast on the Radio advertisements to enroll you kid tuition free for online school.
They do field trips and supervised meet ups as well so there is some face time.
Don’t think it will work for K-grade however.

It’s not just public schools. I’ve heard similar things about some of the higher end private schools (Frances Parker, La Jolla Country Day).

There are idiot parents everywhere. And unfortunately, they often raise idiot children.

Our job as parents is to teach kids that life isn’t fair, and how to deal with that. And how to deal with bullies and idiots.

I hope your daughter’s school experience improves.
