[QUOTE="ksm, post: 593921, member: 12511"] school just got worse, much worse. difficult child came home from school yesterday and told me about an incidence in choir class. As she was going in to class, one of the girls was outside the class with a bunch of other girls from the class, and 4 or 5 had pulled out their phones to video tape the confrontation. The older (senior) girl tried to start a fight with her and accused her of saying things about her. difficult child talked her way out of it and went on in to the class thinking it would be safer there - but the teacher wasn't there. The threatening continued until another girl kindof stepped in and told the others to back off. The choir teacher was late getting to class (as there is a concert tomorrow night and he was getting props for it) so difficult child got up and left, cooled off, then went to the principals office. Then went on to her next class. After school, she went b ack to the choir class and talked to choir teacher and he was unaware of what had happened. difficult child doesn't want to stay in that class any more and he is suggesting she be put in another class (wouldn't be choir as he is the only teacher) He did call me last night and told me he would be "working" on this today. By the time he was aware of this, all the others involved had left the school for the day. I did email him back and asked that if she was just being put in a class to kill the next 10 days, then I would prefer it was a class that she could work on or get help in algebra or computer applications. She has those two classes she is failing. He said he would not dock her grade for the trimester and she would be placed in a different choir group next year. I am just so mad and frustrated. All it takes is for one teen girl to say to another teen girl that someone said she was fat and then it goes downhill the rest of the year. difficult child says she didn't talk bad about this girl... I don't know whether she did or not. She also said that this girl made her choir trip miserable last weekend. I looked back over the emails I had sent to the choir teacher and probably three times I had emailed him to let him know that difficult child was having problems with some girls. I don't think he took it seriously. I will be calling the school later this morning.
