[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I have a child that goes to BCC but went to a non-BCC cluster MS with a much higher rate of problems (fighting, suspensions, etc.)  DC regularly told stories of fights in the hallway, kids being jumped on the way home from MS and then not appearing at school for several days because they had been so badly injured etc.  DC never was attacked, but I think it was still distressing for DC to even know that these kinds of things were going on.  And, then to see teachers and administrators handle things so poorly and with such inequitable practices by race..... well, it was a lot to witness at a MS age.

My child was surprised by the difference at BCC.  Basically, for the vast majority of students, it's unthinkable that they would get in a fight at school.  The entire atmosphere is different.  I think in the entire first year, DC saw maybe 1 "fight".  It was quickly stopped by security.   And, it wasn't really a fight, more like shoving and yelling that was stopped before something more evolved.

This isn't to say that BCC kids are perfect.  They are skipping school, smoking pot, doing stupid stuff to, I am sure, but the level of violence at school is significantly different that what we've witnessed at other schools.

That said I don't know Einstein well enough to compare.  [/quote]
