[quote=Anonymous]Go over the head of the last official who said no. Tell the school system that you are retaining a lawyer and considering legal options to get your child moved regardless of "the school is closed to transfers" etc. Then DO get a lawyer to write a letter. It'll cost but a whiff of an attorney and words like "court" make school officials react. Is your daughter getting counseling (not seeing the school counselor, but seeing a counselor outside school) or even therapy? Her intense reaction of shutting out her black parent and not wanting to be seen with her black parent by other kids is just soul-crushing. For her and for both parents. So is her very damaged self-image and her hatred of her looks. Wow. School has been your focus but first I'd get her some serious help for these difficult feelings; she needs serious help to learn to love herself and to move away from blaming her black parent--that's stuff that will linger into adulthood if not dealt with. I really would get get her going to an experienced professional ASAP, preferably one with experience working with kids who have been bullied. I'm so, so sorry this has happened to her and to your family. Don't focus on the school/changing schools issues so much that you think that school change will undo this damage. Poor child.[/quote]
