[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is in public school so I don't think there is a way to change schools. And moving isn't an option. We live where we can afford and that is the state of the schools in this area.[/quote]

Yes, yes you can.  Keep documenting the bullying, please.  All in emails, so there is a record.   After a certain numbers of incidents you should be able to request that the school is not protecting your child and you need to switch.[/quote]

Not the OP, but did you not read that the family can afford to live where they are and moving is not an option because of finances?[/quote]

Briggs Chaney's catchment is not the only lower cost of housing area available. Move upCounty into Germantown or even over the line into HoCo. You're so close to HoCo anyway.[/quote]

"I can't afford to move" means "I can't afford to move", not "There are no houses in my price range".[/quote]

OP here - no real updates except I did put together an incident outline that I will send to principal tomorrow. Still looking for a kid's self defense class that works for our schedules. I also started wrestling around with her, sometimes being a little rougher but it really isn't the same. I am teaching her how to verbally respond in a more menacing way, but she is very uncomfortable being mean so this is an area where she needs more practice. She has a cell phone and I told her she can start taking it to school so she can call the police if she is physically attacked again. I also set her phone up in a way where she can quickly record any incidents.

I would love to move, but we would take a major loss on our house - I already worked thru the numbers. We would have to move out of the area completely which would not be an issue except my family is very close-by.
