[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Is your daughter the same race as the girl who sat at her desk? Has the other girl been disciplined before? If so, it may be her payback, her mother may be caught up in the unfair punishment percentages. This happens lots at schools. In any event, I'd urge your daughter to keep her cool and perhaps contextualize the matter with thoughts on the current zero tolerance and how it doesn't always address the matter ideally. A better outcome might have been the two girls meeting with the counselor and discussing conflict resolution. Also if the class is open seating, your daughter has to be flexible and not stake out her seat! I cannot believe a dispute that escalated to an altercation got labeled bullying. The word is overused and therefore its meaning diminished. [/quote]

No, my DD and she are not from the same race. I do not know her having been disciplined (she is not exactly in the cirle of friends of my DD). I will talk to my DD a little more today. I totally agree with you that my DD should not have the undeue sense of ownership of a desk and should definitely not act out inappropriately. However, I wish the incident could have been handled a little more realistically and maturededly by the school and may be by the other girls parent (am I sounding defensive!).[/quote]
