[quote=Anonymous]So, because the school has parents volunteer in the first few days, that means the mean kid's behavior was somehow not so mean?  Or didn't happen?  I don't get it.

OP, yes, kids are mean, even in K.  Some PPs have offered some good advice.  I would see if you can change classrooms.  This early in the year, it wouldn't be so much of a problem if there is more than one section of K.  If not, then work with the teacher about classroom behavior.  But remember, on the playground, the kids are not right under the nose of the teacher and bad behavior can happen there.  No matter how much friendship training they get in class, the mean kids will still be mean.  Even if you change classrooms, your DD will still have to deal with it on the playground.  This is where you need to help your DD speak up for herself.  And having some playdates is a great idea.  There are lots of resources for these conversations - role-playing can help.

Your DD is fortunate that this behavior came to an adult's attention early on so she can get some support.

What I would like to know is whether the teacher and/or the other parents have had a serious talk with the mean girl about her behavior, how it is not acceptable and how the teacher will have an eye on her.  How there will be consequences if she keeps it up.  Why is it always the kid who is the target who has to do all the work to avoid/stand up to/deal with the mean kid?  [/quote]
