[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you just ask the other parents what the issue is? It sounds like they are upset by whatever their DD told them and think it's a big deal, so you might as well find out exactly what it is so you know whether you agree.

If they won't tell you directly, I'd go ahead and go to this meeting at the school they've requested so you can find out. If the triggering incident is not a big deal (lots of very normal reasons why kids this age get upset with each other that do not require any adult intervention at all) that will become obvious and you can just say "I'll talk to DD" or whatever and move on.

But it's possible that something serious did happen and your DD is just not aware that it's a serious thing or it didn't register with her. Usually the only things schools are going to care about are physical violence, hate speech, or persistent non-physical bullying (but on this last one it has to be very pervasive and obviously harmful, most schools will do nothing for something like occasional teasing or exclusion because that happens all the time).

But you don't know what the problem is yet so there's not really anything to do but go find out.[/quote]

The parents are saying her child did nothing wrong and upset she is accused of being mean to my daughter.

The whole thing seems ridiculous. Teacher saw my child upset at school. My daughter told teacher why.

When teacher called me, she sounded sympathetic to my child. I’m assuming her tone with the other parents is that their child did something to my child and that is why they want a conference. By going so overboard, the kid and parents seem more guilty for a very small incident.[/quote]
