[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Cooper and I’m not aware of any kind of bullying that makes it stand out from any other middle school. The school is terrific and the staff is supportive.  If your child is being bullied, he/she can seek help from the staff if they are unable to advocate for his/herself.  Middle school is scary no matter where you are — particularly for girls.  If you shield your child from all potential injustices, you are potentially preventing them from learning how to navigate injustice in their adult life.[/quote]

I agree - I'm not aware of anything at Cooper; Most of the kids just want to get good grades - I've heard the social circle respects the academically superior.

As per: [quote=Anonymous]If you shield your child from all potential injustices, you are potentially preventing them from learning how to navigate injustice in their adult life.[/quote]

I think it depends on the injustice - I went through Herndon Middle with kids carrying knives that constantly threatened others. I've heard of stories where girls were harassed to the point of suicide. This is not a time to teach life lessons - this is a time to intervene. The child's mind will stop growing under stress not just academically but also emotionally. [/quote]
