My dd experienced invisible bullying and some physical bullying in her class. It started when she was in kindergarten.
There is one girl who is always mean to my dd when no teacher is around or when she is close to my daughter. There is another boy who keeps teasing her, taking my daughter's stuff, and hiding it. Most of the students, the school, and the boy's parents know about their child's behavior. They tried to put him with a therapist to help him. He hasn't really changed his behavior, but there has been a bit of change.
The other girl is a child of PSA. She pushed my daughter and said it was an accident. One time she scratched my daughter's arm when she came out of the bathroom until her arm bled a bit. She will stand close to my daughter and say that my daughter is not allowed to be in the front line. Another time she slapped my daughter's face when my daughter became a class monitor and asked her to sit down. No other students stood up for her. No one told the teacher.
We reported those incidents to the school director. We didn't have much evidence to prove the behavior of this PSA's child. They suggested we bring our daughter to a therapist. We finally reported it to the school owner. He listened and agreed to move my daughter to another class next year since there will be one spot empty. He said there is one student who will be out of that class at the end of the semester. About this PSA's child, she changed a bit too. I don't know what the school did to her because they did not inform us.
Yesterday, we got a text message from the school informing us that there is no longer space in another class for my daughter next semester. The other student decided to stay at the school. The school will assign a homeroom teacher who understands the situation. We are disappointed. We talked to our daughter about the situation too. She told us that she would be fine. She'll try to handle it if someone tries to bully her. Should I keep pushing the school to give my daughter a spot in another class, which I know has almost zero chance? Or should I let her stay in the same class next semester? All my children are there, and my daughter doesn't want to move to another school either.
