My daughter has been complaining of her principal?

Question

for the past 7 or 8 months now. Apparently she cares about what he thinks and does. she continues to tell me that he doesnt like her. I thought this would go away but i feel it is not. She says that he doesnt acknowledge her and that he ignores her and that he doesnt make her feel as though she is trying and many times he tries to avoid speaking to her and he speaks to everyone around her but not her.

I really want to give the principal the benefit of the doubt but i think there is something going on.

she is upset all the time and i think she feels belittled. I am worried that this is affecting her emotionally.

any advice?

Answer 1

Call and talk to the principal.  I doubt this is his perception, but he will most definitely be sensitive to it.  He will then try harder.  Don't let your daughter know you're talking to him.

Answer 2

talk to the  principal first and find out why this is happening. If nothing changes by the end of the school year then I'd pull my child out and change schools.

Answer 3

How old is your child?

Most schools have 200+ students.  Is it possible he just gives every one some extra attention as needed?

Why is she so preoccupied with what he thinks about her?  Ask her.  This is a good time to teach her that it's ok if we're not friends with everyone at every time.  People are busy and have jobs to do.  We can't take things personally.

Answer 4

I would definitely be very concerned!  Have you asked her friends if they have noticed this behavior towards her?  I wouldn't bother discussing it with the principal I would schedule a meeting with the superintendent.

Answer 5

I would change schools.
