My DD is desperately unhappy, we moved to be in catchment for good schools, she insisted on the nearest one mainly to stay with primary friends and have no commute. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but now she says "friends" ignore her, new kids mean, wants to move schools, doesn't want to join anything and seems very depressed. Just sulks and moans about the over 50% nasty teachers, boring work, strict rules (new head just made tougher and the bad kids don't care anyway) and whole class threats and punishments of the innocent (her). Off sick today with migraine and bad stomach (second day off already). A total change of personality overnight and now we are 5 weeks in--this terrible first impression seems set to stay. Anyone in same boat? did anyone's DC recover from a bad start like this? I went to look at other schools open days (ones we missed last year, partly for my other DD to consider future for her) but they are either currently full, or full and expensive. We are basically stuck with the choice for now.
