Most of the world just goes to the school they are zoned for. And yet somehow they manage. [/quote]

Learning to fit in and coping when it's difficult are extremely valuable lessons.

Your parents aren't always going to be there. [/quote]

Off topic to OP's question, but this is terrible advice for all but the mildest situations kids can find themselves in. Abuse never 'toughens up' a person as much as it damages them psychologically, no matter who the abuse is coming from. See, e.g., the school experiences of school shooters and other children who died by suicide. The crap that happens to kids in school is psychologically formative. 'Learning to fit in' when surrounded by bullies who don't want you to fit in can lead to some seriously messed up kids. It is MORE than OK for parents to step in and help children who are sill developing. Sometimes that is what it takes for a child to grow up and then be able cope with the adult world when they eventually do become adults. Look around you at the adults who can't cope -- they were often the kids left in terrible social situations and not helped by the adults around them.[/quote]
