[quote=Anonymous]My experience has been that the queen bee thing is subtle and if you are targeted, leaving the school (eventually) is really the only way to end it.  Public school, ironically, has seemed to make more effort to address these situations from what I have observed. I actually have seen a teacher and guidance counselor call the kid(s) involved for a sit-down in two separate situations in public school.  I can't say that this completely ended the bad feelings between the kids, but there was tangible effort on the part of the school to address the problem once it was known.  By contrast, I found that in priivate school, money talks and administration is loathe to offend a paying parent even if that parent is a participant in the situation, amplifying what is occuring at the kid level in school with who is invited to the house, birthday party, etc.  The teachers in private school, in my experience, deferred to administration.  Administration turned nodded and smiled, but, with a NIMBY attitude, turned a blind eye to what was occuring as long as physical injury was not involved. [/quote]
