[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like a good, conscientious mom.   You are doing the best to raise your girl right.   She went off the rails here and you are taking it seriously, yet also trying to support her emotionally.

I think the school's way to deal with this situation is appropriate.   Your daughter name called and it was a bad one, over wanting to sit in a particular seat.  IMO even saying "None of your friends are over here, no one likes you" is really bad, too.   Making your daughter sit in an assigned seat is appropriate.  A punishment isn't effective unless it makes the child uncomfortable!

I get your thinking that calling your child a bully is over the top.   Maybe in your mind a bully implies a long standing pattern of behavior like this, not just a one time thing.   But I think what your daughter did was the beginning of bullying behavior.   This is just to show that even nice enough kids can engage in bullying tactics.   This is what girl bullying looks like.   Yes, it can get a lot worse.   Hopefully your daughter won't ever do anything like this again.
