update on daughters school and violence

Sparing my daughter another month of violence UPDATE!!!

So I pulled her out of school and she is already a much happier kid. The school has a newish principal and some new staff who completely backed me on pulling her out and were very apologetic that her experience was so awful. Their reasoning that these kids have terrible home lives and have bad parents didn't move me at all. My daughter has unfortunately been through some horrific things at her tender age of 9 and yet doesn't feel the need to beat the crap out of other kids. I am sorry that these children have bad home lives but not so sorry that I will stand by and allow them to take that out on my daughter while the administration and teachers who are supposed to protect her give them a pass. 5 of them surrounded her and kicked and punched her last year, I caught a boy strangling her while smashing her against a pole and all that happened was he got sent home for the day, took.every ounce of self control not to beat the crap out of him myself, oh and in class her bullies literally sit on every side around her. No, no and hell no! We have even moved our plans up to move as we are done here. I will email the department of education as well. Thank you to all the supportive comments, I showed her and she was smiling and surprised that all these strangers had her back! I love this site and all my fellow IM's :) thank you again!
