[quote=Anonymous]Long story short - we have had a disastrous family incident last summer, and during the school year my daughter was put in a class where both of her really good friends were in a different section.  We didnt request the school to help her as she thought she can try to make new friends.  All year we struggled with making new friends as girls would not allow her to either sit with them or even play with them.  it was brutal.  I almost thought of home schooling her.  we some how got through it all.  In the Spring this year, we had put in a request to assign her to the same class as atleast one of her friends, and even her class teacher from 2017-18 school year put in a recommedation that she needs to be with her friends, so she can focus on her studies, instead of figuring out where, what and how each and every day.  Her friend's parents put in a request to be assigned to the same class as our daughter.

Nope, this  year, same situation.  I called the principal, and he is adamant that it is important for a student to go out of their boxes, be more creative in making new friends, we cannot change the assignment, too many variables in assigning a class to a student etc.  I totally understand that, and requested on a humanitarian grounds to think about it again, and I explained how difficult it was last year, and that we are hoping she will not be depressed again.  No, he is not budging.

I am looking for some recommendations as to how to handle this situation.  my daughter refuses to go to school this year.  I'd really appreciate if any of you have any thoughts, recommendations etc.
