Jacksonville

Both of my children love it there. We haven't had any problems with teachers, and very minimal problems with troublemakers. The 2 things I do not like: the lady in the front office is ridiculously rude, especially towards men. But she has retired over the summer, so that's a moot point. My daughter was bullied by a girl that lives down the road this past school year - on the bus, and when I contacted the school multiple times - the principal, the girl's teacher, assistant principal, not a thing was done nor was I contacted. Something happened at recess and my daughters friends were there, and acted as witnesses and reported it yet again to a teacher. The teacher called the little girl over there, the girl obviously denies it, and the teacher sent her on her way without consequences. This was after my daughter and 4 of her friends reported the problem. Now the little girl is in my daughter's class this year. I was worried, but my daughter says "don't worry mom, my friends have my back." My daughter is in 5th grade, and if that little girl touches my daughter again, pulls her hair or anything, my daughter will stand up for herself this time! I'm sick to death of her being bullied by this little problem, and if teachers aren't going to do anything, then my daughter will defend herself!
