[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a hard decision, OP.  Mean girl behavior is a learned behavior and girls learn it from their mothers and each other.  Unless the school is actively moving to disrupt and abate the mean girl problem then things probably won't change unless the main mean girl leaves.  Even then the school will need to work with the remaining girls to unlearn all the bad behaviors.

Not to put too fine of a point on it but I am very much in the same mind as the poster on the prior page who talks about the fact that sometimes there are no do-overs in child rearing.  Sure there is a little latitude and sometimes you can recover but something like this mean girl behavior is hard to get over or get past.  Basically if nothing changes then you are sending your child into an inhospitable and hostile environment every day for 7-8 hours a day.  It would be a disheartening and soul-draining experience.  Ugh.

If the school is directly involved and helping remediate the problem, then we might stay if there were other aspects of the school that we really liked.  Absent school support and *** action, though, and we would be out of there.

Good luck.  This sounds like a really tough situation for your child.  Hugs.[/quote]

I just read my post and I want to add one word *** substantive ***.  Absent school support and [i]substantive[/i] action, though, we would be out of there.[/quote]
