Controversy at Deal

[Anonymous]

If this is true I hope the kid who punched him doesn’t get in trouble. Because if a random kid tried to pants my middle schooler at recess I’d tell him to punch the person too.

I totally agree.

But I thought Gabby and Brandon were together?

They WERE but then someone mistook Brandon for a 6th grader and gave him/his/he a swirly in the bathroom. Everyone found out about it and it drove Gabby back into Kyle’s arms. They were making out between classes, got caught up in a hall sweep and ended up in detention with the swirled AND the pantser and two kids still high from lunchtime.

Ah how I wish there were hall sweeps…

Why aren’t there Hall sweeps at Deal?

If there’s no consequence for skipping class, why would you bother getting them out of the halls?

Thanks for the info. I’m trying to determine if I keep my kids (6th and 7th) at Deal. They’ve mentioned things to me, but they’re more personal, like, “How has your day?”

“Let’s go over your homework.”

Etc.

What other things are parents not told about that happen there on a daily basis?

That was me. Then after DC moved on to high school, slowly the stories started to emerge as DC warned me not to send younger sibling there. I honestly loved the school, but I had no idea what was going on.

Could you imagine if your parents acted this way when you were in MS. My goodness

Definitely. I second that. I had two kids go through Deal, but their IB grading system is a mess. It doesn’t have a realistic approach to merit to help keep students and teachers accountable.

I heard about the pantsing from my 8th grader. Lots of fights and weirdness this year, maybe from lack of adequate supervision at recess (my kid said the fights always seem to happen at the end of recess when they’re headed back into the building.)

It also masks LDs in a quiet, well-behaved student.
