[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its hard enough for middle schoolers to adjust to their home school. Adding in a long bus ride cuts into sleep time at the exact time when many of them are going through growth spurts and need more sleep. Hormone changes from puberty add another layer of stress.

Landing in a rough school is no picnic for many kids. Kids do not get much of ay time to socialize during the academic classes. Once they get into more project work there will be more chances to interact socially in class but lunch and PE tend to be the only time when kid get to talk with each other. If she is being bullied on top of being around kids who play and talk "rough" at lunch and PE then I can see why she is struggling.

You can't assume that the teachers or administrators can get the other kids to behave. They can't and won't[/b]. The only thing that can change is that your daughter can get tougher and tan up to the bullies are on her on and learn to ignore or join in with the other kids. My oldest is very confident and has a do not mess with me attitude. She would be fine . My youngest would fall apart in a second. [/quote]

This is key.  And true at any MS, IME.

In reality, teachers and staff have very few ways to control students behavior and the kids know it.  [/quote]
