[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP with the friend bolded.  My DD has been the only AA and minority from K to current 8.  All her activities from hockey, swimming, figure skating, softball, wrestling, gymnastics,etc, she's been the only one.  She's made some great associates over the course, but no true friends, more like second or third tier friendships.  I've had enough of it, and for HS she will be attending a very diverse one.   [/quote]

I'm so sorry your DD is going through that. It's really awful. Do you think it's because of the kids in her class or parental intervention? Also, would you mind sharing if this is a public or private school? No need for names. I'll understand if you're uncomfortable sharing that information.[/quote]

It's private...mind you, DD is having a terrific time and would stay in current school, however I see through the screen.  For example, one of the kids we've known since K, we have been to her house and vise versa over the years.  In fact DD had a study session at her house a few weeks back.  Well two Fridays ago was this kids b'day party, she invited all the other girls to the party and left my DD out, and they were all told to keep it a secret from her.  Just hours before the entire class was behaving as one big happ family at a field day.  Well DD found out the Monday in school as everyone tried to talk about the party in code around her.  She was upset for a minute but quickly got over it, and even up to last week when the teacher gave them assignment to come in front the class and speak of two of you favorite classmates, she choose said gril.

Her younger brother also attended entering in 2nd grade.  I had to remove him in 3 for being bullyied.  One day at recess one of the other lil boys touched his brow and wipe the sweat off and said while rubbing his fingers - your sweat is not like hours!  That was the last straw and he was removed.  DD class was kinder and she was left in.

To answer you questioin - it comes from the parents.

I'm not one to say this lightly, but this made my stomach turn. How anyone could treat an innocent child like that is incomprehensible to me. I'm glad you're moving your DD and I hope your DD and DS are happier in their new schools.[/quote]
