[quote=Anonymous]OP, ignore the idiots who say she's a bully. She is not a bully and she is not a problem child.

However, it is concerning that both of you consider every little behavior correction given by a teacher to be "getting in trouble". None of the examples you gave indicated she was in trouble or caused a problem. She was simply directed by a teacher (or lunch monitor) to change her behavior. This happens to all students on a daily basis. It is normal and not something that should cause tears, anxiety, or a refusal to go to school the next day. Typically, a parent would explain that the correction offered by the teacher does not mean she's in trouble and it simply means she should not repeat a certain behavior. Instead, you stood firm in your belief that she was telling the whole truth about being accused of stealing and being punished for it. You should have known that wasn't the case. Her version of the story isn't necessarily a lie, but it is never the entire truth, either. Tell her that she's only in trouble if the teacher calls you. Otherwise, it's just a normal day.[/quote]
