Am I overreacting? Is it just the preg hormones?

My daughter is in second grade, she went to school with new shoes today so when I picked her up from school I asked where your shoes comfortable? Well she then went on to tell me that a fellow classmate pinned her up against the restroom wall and proceeded to step all over her new shoes. It got my blood boiling that her classmate had her pinned up against the restroom wall!!!! I asked her to tell me the story to the best of her knowledge. She said both her and her classmate were in the restroom at the same time. My daughter said she mentioned her classmates name and when the classmate heard she automatically turned around, pinned her against the wall and stepped on her shoes. Her classmate said I heard my name! My daughter said yes I said it was saying hi. now I know that I may not be getting the complete story but someone not respecting my daughters personal space Really got me mad! I want to go and talk to the teacher about it. Am I overreacting?

I think once you calm down, it's worth talking to her teacher about the situation. It's best you already realize you may not have the full story, but it's still something worth discussing in order to get the whole story or at least express your concerns that this other child and your daughter be watched closely to avert any additional issues on either of their parts.
Going in as if there's no way in hell your daughter did anything wrong would put you on the wrong foot, but calmly discussing your concerns is a valid point.
I was bullied to the point of depression in the 9th grade - please talk to your DD's teacher and put a stop to this now.
i don't think you are over reacting based on what you have to go on... I would definitely talk to the teacher.
good luck!
I would absolutely bring it up to the teacher. That is bullying and should not be tolerated.
This. I'm a 3rd grade teacher and this happens a lot (not the bullying, the parent contacting me when they are still fuming and it comes across as them being mad at me-which isn't the case). Calm down and plan on what you will say and then definitely contact her teacher, she needs to know.
Agreed- cool down and talk to the teacher.
I don't know if the other girl meant to be physically intimidating or not (my daughter is also in the 2nd grade and I know those kids are always up all over each other in a playful, but physical way), but the teacher should definitely have a discussion with her about appropriate touching and school behavior. It sounds like she might have a bit of a bullying issue but it also may be that there is something else is going on in her life. It is best to have the teacher keep an eye out on her in case it is something more serious, like she is being physically abused at home and is acting out at school because of it.
