[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something is really off about this thread. Of course there will always be this type of behavior but it has never been and is not currently the norm. MOST girls are not mean or exclusionary. I wonder if you're all wealthy private school parents? We're a middle class/upper middle class public school family and while, of course, my girls have experienced some sort of meanness from other kids, it is by no means the norm, and definitely not most girls.

When I see threads like this, I think: this must be private school parents whose kids (1) aren't exposed to people outside of their small already exclusionary/snobby school community and (2) maybe just maybe feel entitled to always having the best experiences only.[/quote]

My kids go to a public school in a solidly UMC area.  "Most" kids are not mean, I agree.  But there are a hell of a lot more than I was expecting.  Sigh.

That being said, I agree that something is very off about OP's experience.  She recounts that her DD is repeatedly encountering violent and physically aggressive 9 yr old girls?  Like, what?  We've encountered one violent girl over the years with my two DDs, and she had well-documented special needs.  If true, OP, you are in a very weird (creepy) circle.  [/quote]
