Enough is enough. Words can do more damage than a fist fight because memories LINGER on forever or can!
Again, the school needs to provide a safe environment and you must be your child's advocate. I do training in schools for teachers as many do not know how to handle these situations but they must all be brought together and perhaps the school counselor needs to get involved as well...and the parents!
I have free reports on this and book coming out soon that is full of tips on what steps to take.
Let me know if I can help.

we all have an elephants memory when it comes o these sorts of things yet we forget half of the stuff they teach us in school. Trust me mam, it helps allot to tell someone like a principle, councilor or a teacher about this. The sooner you tell someone the closer they'll stop picking on her. (this comes from experience as I was teased not really bullied but still in the same category). I would also suggest contacting their parents. Although you're daughter maybe against it the child striking out at her might have some family troubles and doesn't know how to deal with them so they take it out on her. By calling the parents you will alert them to their child problem. They ay then have a talk with them and they may just stop on their own after settling their problems.
