[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sixth grader in a magnet too. If she were unhappy, there’s no way I would let her withdraw before the end of the first semester, and I would try to get her to finish sixth grade before making a final decision. I agree that your dc should see if he/she can visit classes in your home middle school before withdrawing from the magnet school, to see how it’s different.  Lots of sixth graders are trying to sort out a whole new social hierarchy, and in the meantime, they’re making mean comments, cursing like crazy to feel more grown up, no longer friendly to former classmates, etc., while they figure out where they fit in. FWIW, I have twins and the one who attends our home school has been subjected to more mean behavior than my magnet kid has.

Wow talk about some bad parenting.   Ring bullied and physically attacked in MS and you wouldn’t let your kid change schools?  No wonder we have a suicide problem in this country.[/quote]

Yes, because home schools are magical places where bullying never happens, so OP can guarantee her child a bully-free zone for the next 3 years by dropping out of the magnet.   :roll:

OP didn’t say describe the physical and verbal attacks, let alone say that they were committed by the same student/students, so we don’t even know for sure that her kid is being bullied. If your first reaction is to switch schools without even having a complete picture of what’s going on, then I don’t think much of your parenting either.[/quote]
