[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588417, member: 14557"] Glad to hear your son is doing fine. That certainly is a relief. Thean again, your daughter. Not liking a new school after a week is to be expected. It takes time to make friends, especially when you change schools mid semester. It is of course hard for her and I understand well, that you feel bad for her. And it is goos that you let her know you sympathize how difficult it is for her. But don't let her use your pity against you. That she was allowed not to work and just play cards last school wasn't doing her any favours. Neither is letting her come to your desk. Tell her that she can only come to see you, if she has legitimate reason, only when you are there and not to hang out there. And tell your co-workers to treat her like any kid that would try to come and sit on staff's desk while they are away. I'm sure that is not allowed. Shouldn't be allowed to her either. it would help her more to try to help her find ways to get friends. Do your school has any peer mentor program or other to help new students to find their place? Do guidance counsellor or Special Education have any suggestions? I'm sure she is not the first kid to have these kinds of issues in your school. oh, and hating a gym teacher is good. There is no better way to fit in than whine with your classmates what an twit your gym teacher is. One of those global truths :winking: [/QUOTE]
