[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved our DC to a different ES in FCPS because of bullying.  However, you can't predict what will happen at any school.  Our other DC had a great cohort grade at the same school, just two years later.  It depends on the personalities of the stduents inthe particualr grade at your DC's school and even then it can fluctate from year to year as students move in and out.  If you are particularly concerned about your child, bring it up wit the Principal or AP when you go on your tour of the ESs you are investigating.[/quote]

I totally agree, it can happen or not happen anywhere depending on the particular group of students. When you arrive at the school inform the principals of your concerns. Your concerns are perfectly valid. You have a quirky kid who probably thinks outside the box. Quirky kids get bullied more so than what I'll call mainstream kids for the lack of a better word.

Principals know that bullying can occur and they want to be informed in advance where situations of bullying may arise. If educator are aware of potential situations they can redirect some of your child's quirky behaviors into more favorable classes or groups.  Or be a bit more vigilant about cruel speech or ostracizing behaviors towards your child. The administrators are your friends and they care about every student in the school, but they can't help you unless they are aware of potential situations. It's far better to share your concerns on day one rather than trying to correct something months into the situation. [/quote]
