How old is she now?
She's five. She'll be six in February. I LOVE our school. Great teachers and the entire staff is dedicated and wonderful.
I think I freaked Owen's teacher out a little today because she asked me about my second grade teacher. I could name every elementary teacher I had and often their spouse, as well as my elementary librarian. I'm glad my kids are as blessed with their teachers as I was.
Ugh Cash. I guess the silver lining is that Liv knows that she can stand up for herself and her parents will make that shit stop.
Let's see, I can remember the names of my kindergarten teacher, two of my 1st and 2nd grade teachers (both reading teachers, of course), and most of the teachers after that.
Both of my weddings had about 50 guests. I'd endorse that as a reasonable 'small wedding' cutoff.

It was a big slap in the face to gender issues and the shit that she's going to have to deal with for the rest of her life. I just said to the principal, "It's too early for her to have to deal with this!" He agreed.

So I suppose my 230-person wedding isn't objectively classified as small, though it was one of the smaller ones by Italian standards. Total invited was right around 500 (including people from Europe and South America that we knew would never show).
Cash, that's bad ... but at least the school is stepping in.
I recently saw an article about the schools around Manchester (U.K.) are being designed to prevent bullying - wide corridors with open sight lines, stairways with clear sides, windows in rooms, restrooms with an open plan (although they do have cubicles for toilets), administration and teacher offices are scattered around the building instead of in one cluster. Unfortunately - I think - they're also installing CCTV. But comments from kids were favorable.
There were 10 people at my wedding, and one showed up by accident. It was a haphazard affair, but it was legal.
(Hubby's brother had arranged to go motocrossing right after the wedding, and his buddy showed up early to pick him up. Buddy was mortified to realize he'd walked into the middle of a wedding, which was held at my in-law's house.)
"It's too early for her to have to deal with this!"
I know. This shit makes me bananas. She dealt with it absolutely correctly and I'm proud of Liv for standing up. I just wish she never had to deal with this to begin with.
I'd consider 100 guests a small wedding. It's certainly not a big wedding.
