[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]These girls aren't being "mean girls", they don't want to hang out with someone they aren't friends with, don't have activities in common with, and are now being forced to like. The teacher's response was perfect, it's not OP's problem and her kid isn't doing anything wrong.

Wow. I have boys, and they certainly have preferences about who they like to play with, but neither of them would form an exclusive club at school and vote another kid out.  One time a few kids at aftercare tried to do this to my younger son and the teacher dealt with it immediately.  It's not OP's problem that Mary doesn't have friends, it is OP's problem that her daughter is involved in some ridiculous situation at school voting Mary off the island.  [/quote]

They didn't vote Mary off the island.  They included her because they were forced to and decided, as a group of friends, that they didn't want to anymore...which they are TOTALLY ALLOWED TO DO. Maybe people should be concentrating on the fact that Mary's mom is hellbent on getting FOUR girls (out of an entire class) to include her daughter just on principal, despite it clearly not being good for anyone involved.  I knew Mary and her mom in ES, they did this with multiple friend groups and labeled any girls who didn't want to include her as mean.  The problem is not OPs daughter, the teacher, OP...it's Mary's mom (who seems to have quite a few kindred spirits on DCUM, surprise  :roll: ).  [/quote]
