Hi everyone, I have a dilemma. Since we've moved to this small town 2 years ago, the mother of my child's classmate has bullied some teachers ("I'll have your job!") into giving her child extra credit so she can win all academic awards for highest grade in each subject (she was earning highest grades until my daughter started school here; they are both tied for highest GPA in their class and both ranked first out of 300 students). My daughter is devastated when this happens, and honestly, I am livid. Apparently this family is the talk of the town and their intimidation tactics have never been addressed by the school or other parents. Their child yells at teachers if she doesn't get the top grade, while my daughter is meek and modest (like me) and doesn't say a word. Both kids are competing to get into a prestigious school where past and present achievements are heavily weighed. How should I handle this situation so that I can stop feeling a slow burn every time I see these people?

remind your self of who they are (really crappy people) you can say any ting to your self to make your self feel beter but my sugestion is not to start rummos about them or personally attack them in any way then explaine to your daughter that she is doing great and probably beter than this girl because she has to cheat to get to where she is also explain to her that being the best is nice butnot when you have to cheat to get that way your daughter will be looked upon more highly because she is an excelent student and did it honestly remind her that she is meeting all of your expectations and then let it go if your daughter gets to feeling down remind her of these things you may also explain carma to her yeah this girl is doing good now but in 5-10 years she wont be any thing because mommy and daddy wont be able to pull stings for her where as your daughter earned what she has and will suceed further than this girl in life

It is sad that these teachers are allowing her to do this to them. But the only ones that can stop it are the school board.
If you are really wanting to do something about it then I would go to a meeting when the school board is meeting.
Make sure when you are in front of them that you do it with out it looking like you just do not like this woman. You may need a teacher or two the is being bullied by this woman and to show proof in what ever way you can to them.
Also make sure you are ready for this mother to retaliate against you and maybe your daughter. She does not sound like she will just take all this sitting down.
