[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try a new school. At my kid's school (she's in 8th now) is is completely unacceptable to make fun of people because of their race, disability, weight, clothes, looks, sexual orientation, or gender identity.  There is still room to be bullied about other stuff (sports, academics, being annoying) but it is way less than the hell I went through as a middle schooler. [/quote]

And what do you do when the bully is the president of the DEI club? I don’t think SES has anything to do with it. Some kids are just mean, they learn exclusion and social climbing from their parents, and we hope they eventually grow out of it. In the meantime, they’re just mean.[/quote]

I also think adults proclaiming that they have a school where no kids are mean is so delusional. You're not their age.  Accept that you largely have no clue what is actually going on.  Kids are very good at keeping their world private.  And a lot of them will show one face to adults and act totally differently with peers.  They're not dumb.  [/quote]
