[QUOTE="Andy, post: 394413, member: 5096"] So disheartening that this stuff is happening at a younger and younger age as years go on. However, like you have figured out, they are just copying their parent's behaviors. So tempting to join in the adult's "games" of name dropping but that will only increase the problems. You will only be enterring their world and you know that behavior is unacceptable even though "everyone" is doing it. So, you take the appropriate approach even though it seems the hardest. A letter outlining the situation in the most professional way (as if a therapist was writing it) without names (but titles are allowed) sent to whoever the principal answers to may be helpful. Start the letter out stating that you are going to that level because you feel that the levels up to that point (principal) is also contributing to the situation. Describe what you child is facing (without using names) and that you believe a lot of the problems stem from personal information being shared outside of the needs of the school. Ask why certain information that only you and the school staff know about is public knowledge in the classroom. Keep as much emotion out of the letter as possible outside the strong message that you are standing firm about doing the right thing to correct this situation. [/QUOTE]
