[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you said that your two older kids are doing fine in this same school.
So maybe this racial bullying is not a school wide issue but just a matter of a couple of mean girls tormenting your daughter. If so, can you get in touch with their parents? 
N. Arlington area is very liberal, I am sure parents will be mortified when they hear that their children are involved in racial bullyng. They might stop their kids from bullying your daughter.
Meanwhile, you need to do something to integrated her into your school community. Perhaps you can have a party and invite her classmates? [/quote]

Are you really suggesting to OP that she should invite racists into her home? BAD IDEA OP Don't.do.this![/quote]
I am sure not all her classmates are racist. These are 8 year olds we are talking about. But having a party for her classmates and setting up play dates will help OP’s daughter to find friends in her class. [/quote]

She is in class with them all day. If hey haven't clicked there, they aren't going to. I doubt the entire class is racist, but teachers usually have a policy about inviting the entire class (to include the racists) or no one at all to parties when invites are given out at school.[/quote]

OP, different poster here. Set up play dates--no teacher can dictate those. And the policy of "invite everyone" applies only if you distribute invitations AT school--the teacher cannot make you invite the whole class if you send invitations yourself via an online invitation or email or mail. I'd start with play dates, though, not the pressure of a larger party. Most of all ensure DD has activities and friends outside school with no relation to school at all.

Of course that's all secondary to raking the school system over the coals for ignoring this vile bullying. Call the board member for your area as a PP said. [/quote]
