| How does FCPS (specifically Churchill) deal with bullying? Have you been happy? Or should I pull to private/Catholic (have heard it’s not much better in these schools) Don’t want to get into specifics |

| No knowledge specifically about Churchill, but in our experience FCPS does absolutely nothing about bullying, particularly if the bullies are popular and excel at sucking up to administrators. |

| At our school, one teacher is actually a bully to her students. |

| Your best bet is to ask them to move your student to another class. The school is under the obligation to protect both students which causes a lot of trouble in these situations. |

Are you talking specifically about pulling a kid out of Churchill or just not sending a kid there? |

Which grade? Did you contact the classroom teacher? |

We have this at our school also. The one absolutely egregious bully was let go after her 3 year probationary period of whatever it was, which was a huge relief. Unfortunately there's still at least one teacher who thinks effective classroom management is yelling at the kids who care until they're regularly in tears. As far as kid-on-kid bullying, the administration has sort of attempting to do something, but it's all so ineffective they might as well have done nothing. |

Here is a large part of why they do nothing: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1164142.page |

| Try to figure out a way to handle it now. Cooper is 10Xs worse and a lot of it happens online. The school really cannot do anything to stop it. So many parents have just given up. |
