Hello,
Need a bit of advice please?
Long story so will condense it...
DD bullied for 2 terms by a group of controlling girls. Head and teacher aware of it but didn't do much. Teacher kept being cryptic about it and never really knew what she was on about. Got so bad that had to withdraw dd for a day as all girls in her class were whispering about her because of a badly handled situation by teacher (told girls off but said not to mention it to my dd - which of course they then told pretty much whole class) and it utterly ruined her confidence. She is a shy girl anyway and had already lost her confidence.
Then head took proper action (although I don't think has explained in full detail what our concerns were) - but now the parents seem upset with me for their kids being classed as bullies! No concern whatsoever for the damage that their children have done to my dd. In denial I would say. I did try and sort it months ago with a parent but let's just say - she wasn't having it.
2 of the parents approached me afterwards and said their kids were scared of the main kid and that they had been picked on by her too. (Which begs the question - why were they encouraging such an unhealthy friendship in and out of school?) One parent was particularly scathing about the parents of this kid - yet they all socialise together and are really cliquey.
Clearly the situation has been dealt with badly -
I'm exhausted from it, my daughter feels friendless and having tried but failed to get into another school we are stuck. Building our dd back up but she's only 7 going on 8. Quite sad, really.
Am I right to feel angry with the school? Unfortunately one of the parents is on board of governors (as well as everything else going at the school) so, I don't feel I can contact them about it. As someone said, we are being bullied as much as our dd!
Any ideas? Thanks. x
