[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's miserable and your public option is a good one, I'd pull her now. 4th/5th grade is REALLY young to have such nastiness. I can't imagine how awful it may get as they grow.[/quote]

+1 If the school is non-responsive or ineffectual, I think it's time. I would be really worried about sending a kid to middle after a couple/few years of bullying.[/quote]
Plus 100.
It will NOT get better based on our experience. My daughter had a horrible 5th grade year, the small private school did not handle it well, things escalated in 6th and we are now leaving for a different school for next year. It has had a big negative impact on my daughter, being in a small group of deeply insecure and a couple of really mean girls. 
You are the adult and you can see the bigger picture. Not all girls that age are that unkind. Help your daughter by finding a different larger environment for her. By changing things are giving her the message it is not okay to just stay and be treated like sh*t. Good life lesson that some people and some situations you need to walk away from.[/quote]

Bravo to you for moving on. Curious what size school you went to and how things are working out.[/quote]
