[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- Her teacher is very good academically, but I guess hands-off when it comes to social issues.  We don't hear from her about the situation (although we have mentioned several times that our daughter is unhappy socially), and there don't seem to be any kind of check-ins like your daughter received (wow, the school was wonderful to be so attentive to her situation!).  There are some very nice, friendly girls in other classrooms at her grade level, but her particular classroom seems to be more split up into firm groupings.  Our daughter doesn't cry at school, but comes home and cries in her bedroom, so the teacher may not be completely aware of how difficult the situation is for her.  [/quote]

This is concerning.  This would never happen at our school (I won't name the school so as not to face the standard DCUM accusation of plugging).  But social inclusiveness is stressed in a big way.  I can't imagine, if we faced a similar circumstance, a teacher just shrugging and saying "I wish the other girls would be nicer," as though she the teacher is powerless to affect the social environment.

Your child's social happiness is key to her learning, her overall school experience, and whether you are likely to stay.  A good school will care about that, and be on top of it.[/quote]
