[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you ever discuss the social issues with her teacher or the school counselor, and did they have any insight? What was their take on the situation?

It would be unusual for 1st graders to show true bullying behavior, IME.

TBH at this age, I’m not sure that switching schools would really change anything. Usually at this age, the social dynamics change pretty quickly (and tend to reset a great deal over the summer) at your typical public elementary school. They are still very young.

Then again, I’m sure it is possible there is just a really difficult dynamic at this school/grade level. Sometimes it really just takes a couple of very dominant personalities who, banding together, can cause a lot of problems…especially girls. It just seems a bit young for that to be going on, IMHO, in 1st and 2nd grade. [/quote]

Totally believe it can happen in 1st and 2nd grade. My DD’s first grade was a cluster due to some really dominant bullying girls that lied, stole, bullied, manipulated. It was crazy girls were sent crying to the office multiple days a week. Ended up with all of the class parents writing letters. A teacher was ousted over it. [/quote]
