OT: I hate public schools.

[UCGal]

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.

Hold on here! The comments listed are kids being kids!

And to tell you the truth, some adults even do this type of thing – only in a much better concealed fashion.

This is a great time to teach your child about turning the other cheek, flu. You know the old saying, “sticks and stones”. We moved alot when I was a kid, and at a few schools I was the outcast because I was the newbie. They were communities that didn’t see a lot of new arrivals, and some of the kids didn’t handle it well.

The last time this happened was when we moved from Calif to Oklahoma when I was a teen. I had hair to the middle of my back and wore the typical Calif laid back clothes. I was teased and antagonized mercilessly by the cowboys at the OK high school. But by then I already had the skill to smile and move on. It really said more about them than it did about me.

The sooner one can learn that there are always going to be arses out there and that’s never going to change, the easier life will be in the long run. I’ve got better things to do than think about them.

My kids haven’t been messed with at all but if they were in any sort of material way the parents best be prepared to incur substantial litigation expenses. “my dad can sue your dad into bankruptcy!”

I think you are all crazy assigning these adult-like personas and expectations of kindegarteners.

The kindegarteners aren’t racially profiling each other and kicking the boy in the crotch is not wise advice.

Just tell her to ignore the brats, go find the nice kids and play with them. It isn’t that difficult, really.

As for yourself, FLU – do the same with the parents. Don’t focus on all the Carmel Valley social posturing. Just find some nice people and conect with them. I guarantee you they are there.

[quote=CDMA ENG]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.[/quote]

For sure, someone beat you badly with an ugly stick at some point.
