From what DD told me and the way she feels, he certainly wasn't being impartial, I highly doubt he said the same things to the other girl. He said he knows the history but he doesn't know half of it. This girl started bullying DD5 at the begining of the year, I let DD12's teacher know that she was now starting on DD's little sister in prep, it was dealt with and there were no further problems. On Friday at the end of the day DD's teacher said to her that next term if she has any problems to let her know and she will deal with it straight away. The AP had told DD to go to him so I think the've spoken to each other and there is a plan in place. Maybe they need to start giving out agreements or detentions, what sort of AP says they don't know what to do anymore.
This just doesn't end, DD12 had another incident this week, her and here friend were told by the same girl to "go such a d**k". DD told her teacher who even wrote a note in her diary saying she's spoken to the principal and this matter will be taken seriously. DD tells me last night that the girls involved were spoken to by the principal, girl denies saying what she did and her friend said she didn't hear anything. All of the girls were given warnings, including DD and her friend. So this girl can speak to my daughter like this and gets away with a warning, after receiving many other warnings in the past. I went into speak to the principal this morning but she was in a meeting and will call me back. I have written a list of things to say and will let her know that I'm left with no choice but to ring the Education Department, which I already told the Acting Principal in our last meeting. DD has 2 months left of school and I will not stand back and let her suffer anymore. So frustrated right now, thanks for listening.
I feel for you, I really do. I have been in your situation with my middle DD, and it is the hardest thing to deal with. Especially when the school is obviously not taking it seriously and letting the bully rule! Do they not have a bullying prevention system? Do they have a bullying policy? It is totally not fair that your DD is getting told off as well, she is the victim in this! They did the same to my DD! It happened over a number of years and because the school would not take it seriously I did contact the education department, always do it in writing, that way you have a paper trail and it take the emotional side out of it, its not your word against them. I always contacted the principal via email, and then cc'd to the education department. It needs to be dealt with properly! Good luck!!
