[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the advice. I honestly didn't think moving her to a new school was even an option. [b]She currently goes to Briggs Chaney middle school and there are a lot of kids from a low income housing development that are bussed there.[/b] Some of these kids (not all) have behavioral issues and I have to say, a lot of the teachers don't know how to handle them. It is sad that my daughter has to change schools and if it pans out then I would be responsible for transporting her to and from the school despite working full time with an hour commute each way. I wish there was a school where these kids can go to get the attention and help they need!

Are the kids who are bullying your daughter actually from this "low income housing development"? How do you know? (Also, does your daughter take the bus to school?)

At Briggs Chaney MS, there were 4 reported bullying incidents in 2014-2015 (875 students enrolled).

At Rosa Parks MS, there were 9 reported bullying incidents in 2014-2015 (879 students enrolled).

So it doesn't seem likely to me that switching schools will solve the problem. She needs to learn how to defend herself against bullying (and I don't mean with aikido, either).[/quote]
