[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you simply have to move your child regardless of private or public.  My sister moved her daughter out of a public elementary school into another public elementary school and her daughter is so much happier.  For whatever complicated set of facts, the mean girls were ruining elementary school for my niece and a change of location has made all the difference.

If you are not ready to leave, however, studies show that there are specific methods of effectively reducing bullying and teaching resilience.  addressing bullying takes - education by teachers, engagement by parents, and absolute buy-in by the administration to teach the issue.  It can be as simple as having a "no exclusion rule" as in no child is allowed to tell another they can't play with them at recess, ....  Simple little rules consistently applied to engender inclusion make a world of difference.

So, perhaps do some deep research on anti-bullying strategies that are backed up by peer reviewed studies and have a conversation with the administration about their curriculm and the specific strategies you might like them to employ in the classroom.   Sometimes adults have fairly out of date notions of bullying and really do not realize that there are some great specific strategies out thier that promote an inclusive culture.  Good luck. [/quote]
