Teacher told my child off for not wanting to partner with her bully?

[Whosinthewrong]

My teen daughter has been being bullied by a girl at school and schools senior leadership team have been involved.
The girl has physically attacked others and has threatened to physically attack my daughter and has already waited for her outside of school.

The SLT have been brilliant in dealing with this and made sure that my daughter is no where near this girl as much as possible. All staff have been informed that she is not to be sat near her.
In a lesson in which she was physically threatened by the girl a teacher has told my daughter to partner with the bully. For obvious reasons my daughter has refused and got upset.

She's basically been told to stop making a fuss, that she is in year 11 and should work with who she is told and grow up.

I'm rather cross! Aibu

Yanbu, definitely go in and have a word.

Nope I’d be bloody furious!

Good grief - this is a sustained campaign of bullying not some adolescent tiff!! I would be straight in to see them and complain about this moronic teacher.

YANBU. Ask the teacher how she/he would feel if they had to work closely with a colleague who bullies them? I'm certain they would refuse.

Next time you hear a classroom teacher complaining about being bullied by SLT, just tell them to grow up.

No yanbu. I got this kind of crap from adults who should have known better, when I was being bullied. Somewhat heartened to hear the response at large has been more adequate since I was a teen. I’d be raising this as not acceptable with school.

I would be going into school and demanding an apology from the teacher. Surely it is the bully that needs to grow up and stop bullying others, rather than your DD finding a voice and saying no to working with her bully. Just thinking about my DD being in that situation is making my blood boil.
