My parents took the law in their own hands and simply took me out of school when I was 9. They forced the authorities to put me in a school where I wasn't bullied. All parents should be like that.
I went to school with my daughter every day (as a sort of bodyguard) for the rest of the school year after the teacher choked her and we insisted that the school district move her to a different school when we finally were able to meet with them.
I had been frantically searching for a better school for our daughter, but the fact that she had an IEP that had to be followed made finding a better school for her difficult because many places wouldn't take her. We considered moving to the attendance zone of the elementary school in the district we considered the best for her needs, but the district agreed to move her.
