Could anyone please give me impartial and constructive advice on homeschooling please?

Morning,

My daughter has been having trouble with some girls in her year. They’re supposedly her friends but one girl is incredibly emotionally needy and very emotionally manipulative.

This girls doesn’t have the best home life and at school gets the teachers to place my daughter as this girl’s unofficial ‘carer’ in their classes. My daughter has a group of friends but none of them like this girl due to her demanding personality. This girl tells my daughter she is ‘unloyal’ if my daughter doesn’t spend breaks and lunch with this girl.

My daughters group of friends aren’t the best either. My daughter is their cheap punching bag and they ‘playfully’ punch, kick and rip her uniform as a ‘joke’. My daughter doesn’t want to stand for herself as she’s more afraid of being on her own and being known at school as having no friends and being that kid in class who has no-one to work with when teachers group/pair off kids in lessons.

Her best friend left school to be homeschooled at the end of the last academic year, partially due to the girl I described at the beginning of this post but also due to regular bullying.

My daughter doesn’t want me to address her issues with safeguarding as last time safeguarding addressed my daughters problems, they didn’t openly say my daughter complained but the kids involved, knew straight away my daughter said something. She now doesn’t trust safeguarding to help her without her current ‘friends’ finding out and using this as ammunition to turn the school year and school against my daughter and my daughter end up being completely ostracised as a the ‘school loser’.

My daughter wants to be homeschooled as well and I was wondering if anyone who homeschools their children or teachers, could possibly please give me constructive advice, please?

Thank you.
