We have on multiple occasions contacted the school and guidance counselor about bullying in the 5th grade classes. All of which have been handled poorly and we were told if our daughter doesn’t want to be bullied she shouldn’t be standing near the girl bullying her. Victim blaming. Our daughter has A-B honor roll, rarely misses class and is never a disturbance to others. Now several months after the first incident our daughter is coming home from school again upset due to extreme bullying from the same student but now more of the class is involved. (Other students have reported this same child bullying them as well!)Since we have been dismissed and so has our daughter we are left with the only option of going to the school board. How a school claims to have a zero tolerance for bullying and ALLOWS other kids to put their hands on mine is insane. They are in a primary area of growth and development, allowing this kind of behavior only sets a standard for how they will treat each other in the future.
