[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Maybe folks on this board could weigh in on whether their school has any/many same-sex couples?[/b]  Then you might have a better idea if this is more normal at one school than another.  I don't know of any at our school (ATS), but I'm sure that's not the case everywhere.

The other thing: if these remarks are "hideous but innocent", maybe the kids need to be educated in order to not say anything?  Maybe the teachers in his/her classes can address the topic of "some families have two mommies" in a way that makes it normal to the kids.  My daughter has a gay uncle, so we started watching "Modern Family" at a fairly young age.  I wanted her to grow up with same-sex relationships being no big deal.[/quote]

I think she was just giving same sex couples as an example of the situation not necessarily the situation she is facing right now.[/quote]

I think it is something like child is transgendered. General education students do not have a lot of rights. The district may transfer your child to a school where space is available. Schools with strong academics usually do NOT have openings. If your child is so depressed it is really affecting your child's schoolwork and educational progress for at least 4 to 6 months then your child might qualify for special education under emotionally disturbed. Then you and your child would have many, many more rights. 
If your child is miserable why don't you find a private school? If Montessori worked we'll go back to Montessori.  Or your child is going to have to have thicker skin so they don't get upset about "ihideous yet innocent" hurtful comments. [/quote]
