    It sounds as if Twin 2 handled herself with admirable restraint and maturity. She and her friend deserve commendation: They retained their dignity; the bullies did not and they know it, hence the abuse.

    There really should be consequences for bullies but it seems nothing has changed since the 1970s in that respect, from what you say. What use are "policies" unless they are effective?
  • Another meeting today. My life feels like it revolving around school 1st, then my kids, then my wife, who is feeling left out of it all as she works and anxious about the outcomes of these many many meetings and school visits.


    I must say im losing the will to keep them in the school, but i know moving them now at this stage would do more harm than it would good as were at that pivotal moment where we move from KS3 to KS4. theres options evening tonight too, so two+ visits to the school today.


    I wounder if ill get to see the teacher in the school this evening who scarred me for life and put me off school literally for life in my whole schooling career, and get to tell her so and how she failed me, many people dream of getting this oppertunity to put to rest a restless demon from the past especially before she retires this year.

    Resist the temptation. This is all about your children now, and the future. Their future. Don't let your past damage their future!

    Thanks yes its tempting though, though I wont time to put that demon to bed.


    On a brighter the school are calling the parents in to have a mass meeting about their child actions.


    This has triggered the three steps the school employ to tackle bullying once all alternate avenues explored.
    >1. meeting with parents and child, if no resolution to the issues its onto step 2.


    >2. isolation during break and dinner hour phones not to be brought into school at all (if caught confiscated) a daily review on this will be made and noted on sims for registration tutor for the following morning.


    >3. review on "sims" and the bullying behaviour with parents and a view to expulsion if the situation continues on a 3 week period for 3 months not including any holidays or days off.


    My daughters 3 steps are.


    >1.Tell someone when and where bullying is happening and by whom.


    >2.do not follow, provoke, talk to or about or to other pupils or cause the situation to become worse.



    >3. Choose alternate places to be during break and dinner and alternate walking home from school rout patterns if possible, if the group of girls seek out twin 2 then she is to report to reception immediately and ask for member of staff. Tell a friend to run to reception if cornered.


    Schools three steps to help daughter.


    >1. Act on the information given to staff in a timely manor.


    >.2 Provide time out card, councelling and early release card to diner brake and home times.


    >.3 Check in on twin 2 time to time through the week to catch up on the week and give regular briefings to dad about the bulling and if it has continued or not continued minor and medium incidents will be sent via text message, high risk incidents will result in a phone call to come in, in case of a physical assault whilst on grounds and or in uniform police are to be called immediately by twin 2 or by staff upon report of physical assault.

    That sounds as if it might be at the root of many of your daughters' problems

    If a teacher at a school scarred me this badly I think I would have been tempted to put my kids in a different school. Are there no other schooling options nearby?

    when I looked at the staff register she has married since and has a different surname to what I knew her as so thought she had moved on.

    Anyhoo it was a quiet day for twin 2 after the group was spoken to this morning and told parents will be called in. It's bad news on other fronts as twin 1 referral to home tutoring has been denied. She must now make in roads to return to school or I face prosecution and or outside agency involvement. Snap cancelled today are coming out tomorrow so will find my option there.
