[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think bullying is worse in public school per se. [b] The administration really won't do anything about it, [/b]but it sounds like your private school isn't doing anything either.  One thing about public school is that there are more potential friend options.  Is the bullying related to a specific situation or do you have a kid who is likely to be picked on regardless of what school they are at?[/quote]

unlike private, public schools are required by law to address bullying. I'm not saying it will work, but don't assume they won't do anything [/quote]

NP. My kids had various issues happen throughout their time in public ES. Not necessarily bullying, but being hit or having lunch stolen or the like in one-off experiences from different kids. The "addressing it" was typically a talking-to. In the case of one kid who basically bullied an entire class the addressing it was a paraprofessional being assigned to the kid. It was all...really not effective.

But if the private won't counsel out bullies then they aren't being any more effective.[/quote]
