My 7 y.o. daughter told me that 3 girls wanted to fight her. I told my daughter that she has my permission to defend herself and she was more worried about being sent to the office. I think that the way the school system deals with children fighting needs to be reviewed and changed.
I went through all the proper channels, I told the bus driver about it (everyone rides the same bus and one of the girls sits in the same seat as my daughter) and I also informed my daughter's counselor at school. I was told that the situation would be taken care of but if one of the girls hit my daughter, I should tell her to tell the bus driver or the teacher. I told them that I want my daughter to defend herself and all they could say was that she would get in trouble as well.
My problem with that is this, if I am telling you ahead of time what is going on and even after a peer mediation these girls are still picking on my child, why can't she defend herself?
