[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your child struggling and how do you think a Christian school would improve the situation?[/quote]

My kid feels like the kids in this particular school are more abrasive, threatening fights, demanding food and candy, cussing, pushing, bullying. [/b]

We have never experienced this in private although I am sure it exists as well. In the private at least they reinforce praying and morals everyday. Idk. I’m just lost. Kid and I are in tears.

We are just broke and can’t really afford it anymore. I guess we could if we move to a smaller home etc. [/quote]
This doesn't sound like anything my middle schooler reports.  I have never heard about a fight at school.  Last week I heard some 6th grade boys got in trouble for making a plan to overuse the bathroom pass, but it was more silly than aggressive.  This particular teacher's class is exceedingly boring and the kids were looking for something to do to entertain themselves.  Kids do like and trade candy at lunch, but not in a threatening way.

I think your kid needs to find a way to socialize in a controlled setting.  Have they joined any clubs or sports?  They could volunteer for the school play, for example.  No one is going to threaten, fight or bully them at play practice.  Really.  [/quote]
