[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are also considering a move for our DD.  Definitely a significant amount of relational aggression in the grade and a divisional head who doesn’t want to deal with it. [b] The “popular” girls are interested in topics more advanced than they should be for their age, etc

[/b]Can PPs who made a move successfully share process insights?  The fear of the unknown is always hard.  (DD has an older sibling who is happy at the school but the class dynamics and parent group are much better.)

I’m comfortable scoping out and assessing the academic part, but what did you do to figure out social dynamics and administrative / counselor strengths, school culture, etc?

Thanks in advance![/quote]

Why is it up to you to decide what topics are "too mature" for other kids?  Parent your own child and stop judging other kids.  What is it exactly you are trying to get the divisional head to do?  Have you ever considered that the problem could be your child and not everyone else's kid?  We have a parent in my DD's class who thinks everyone else is the problem instead of realizing her DD is the one with social problems.

This is an example of how mean girls are spawned. They are made by big mean girls.[/quote]

PP has a good point.  How does she even know what the girls are interested in?  [/quote]
