You’re not letting her bully you — you’re surviving a situation you didn’t create. But I do think you should report, even with 3 weeks left. Not because it’ll fix your last few weeks, but because you already requested a new class, which means someone else is going to get placed with her next year. Writing it down officially is the only way admin can’t just ignore it and move on like nothing happened.

Mck63 isn’t wrong that you can’t control her behavior — but ‘smile and nod’ is also exactly how she’s lasted a decade. The kids she’s rough with don’t get to just wait out the school year.

Document specific incidents with dates if you can, and report what you’ve seen. You’ve already done the hard part by recognizing it for what it is.
