Dear Principal,
I
am very concerned about how my daughter is being treated by other girls
in the Grade 5 GATE class. Mr. J seems to teach interesting
information, but the girls are really mean, even online.
I
have restricted Emily's use of the internet, but several others girls
in the area, not only at our elementary school, are friends on FB and
Twitter and other sites. They communicate mean comments instantly, even
pictures.
I don't know what to do.
My
daughter is quiet, doesn't make friends easily, and some of her friends
from previous grades at this school now won't talk to her for fear they
will also be targeted. The parents we are acquainted with don't know
what's going on.
It is my opinion
there are students in the class that are future sociopaths. I know
that's harsh. But the cold-blooded treatment of my daughter and others
in the class (the three main ones make some of the boys cry frequently)
is cruel, even some of the substitute teachers won't go back. The Middle
School is famous for mean girls.
I am very concerned for my daughter's mental health in this climate.
Please help,
Emily's Dad

Mean Girls: Why Girls Bully and How to Stop Them
http://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/mean-girls-why-girls-bully-and-how-to-stop-them
Why are those girls so mean?
Social and Emotional Learning
My Two-Cents Worth: A principal sets the tone for
everyone. A complaint like this, from the legal ramifications, shows
there needs to be some Social and Emotional Instruction going on, as
well as communication between principals. We want to have improvement in
student relationships, of course, and avoid notoriety if a student
commits suicide due to cyberbullying. A principal, being made aware by a
parent (when the teacher is clueless), has the responsibility to check
things out. Implementing an anti-bullying program immediately would be
wise. Professional development for the staff on cyber-bullying, and the
signs of mental delicacy in students should also be on the schedule
right away. Supervising a positive learning climate at your school is
always on the agenda.
