I will try to be concise.
D is not a popular child in any respect. She is always in trouble, her teachers find her extremely difficult, she has no good fiends, the girls don't play with her, the boys tolerate her meaning she can sometimes join in the playground football matches. She acts defensively and deliberately provocatively. My heart goes out to her.
A year ago I caught 4 girls giggling and running away from D who wanted to play with them. My daughter was one of the girls. I informed their teacher and gave my daughter a rocket. Can't remember ever being so cross. I emphasised the importance of being kind.
Since that time I have mentioned D from time to time, asked dd if D is doing okay, asked if we can invite her to play (dd said no), checked with dd that she is kind to D.
Today D approached me in the playground and told me that dd and her friends play 'Blow D' which means if you accidentally touch D or anything she has touched you have to blow it off. Like cooties or the lurgey basically.
I am... I am spitting. I am inclined to go ballistic and cancel every plan dd has from now until the end of term. I am horrified, and upset, and disappointed. I want to make her write an apology to D. And have her round to play.
I have already spoken to their teacher who says she'll talk to all the girls tomorrow. The teacher also said that D is being very difficult at the moment and 'bringing it on herself' which I think is an odd thing for a teacher to think.
I will ask dd for her version of events.
What do you think?
