[quote=Anonymous]This fall, Hochul signed into law an anti-bullying measure that applies to private schools and legally requires them to obey certain protocols to prevent bullying. It holds them responsible for not shutting it  down and makes them liable if such bullying continues. The Reids who worked hard to get this bill passed lost their son to suicide and have directly linked his death to the cyber bullying he experienced at a private school. There have been a rash of  suicides in Manhattan private schools over the past year, and I know the subject weighs heavily on a lot of parent’s minds as does how these schools handle difficult subjects such as bullying and the mental health of their students.

I admire the Reids for turning their pain into something productive. I am starting this thread so that anyone who would like to discuss the down sides and toxicity of private schools in Manhattan, or experiences, will have a space to do so.

My hope is that the people who don’t want to be on it, respect the people on its right to conduct their conversation about the places their children are without them the way they choose. I will do my best to avoid them trying to bait me into an argument about my own motives. If you don’t trust them, that’s fine —
who want to discuss things on an anonymous board to do so anonymously. If you’d like to conjecture and gossip about me or call me names, go ahead, but I’d prefer if you did so on another thread. [/quote]
