[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, she needs to stick it out. Maybe this seems unfathomable to you and her, but I and plenty of others have sat by themselves at various grade levels. I vividly remember sitting BY MYSELF WITH A BOOK on certain days. Yes, there are literally other options for your kid - she doesn't need to sit with people she doesn't have a good rapport with. She can reach out to others. She just isn't used to being the odd one out.

Wake up, OP and kid. This is very minor, in the grand scheme of things. Better to live through this in high school and build social resilience rather than later.[/quote]

This is bullying.  Would you say someone being assaulted should stick it out. In no other part of society do we make the target face the person assaulting them.[/quote].

We do, in the workplace. People do their best to find a new job before they leave the old one. And we do, before divorce: we need to get our affairs in order, think about the kids, etc.

The question is: is it that bad here to warrant doing virtual right now?

We cannot answer this, OP. Only you and your kid can decide. From where I’m sitting, since there have been no explanations of the malicious gossip and the bullying was last year… I’d keep her there, and tell her to eat by herself with a book, like I had to do. I’ll be dammed if my kid has a blip on her record just because of a few mean girls! But I’m not in your or her shoes.
