[quote=Anonymous]Well, no, I would not take for granted that all Middle Schools have bullying--schools do have different climates.  My child (at WL) says Latin does not have bullying.  Children do arrive with different behavior expectations --like any school. A few, vastly different.  I am glad that kids are getting removed, after being given chances to change behavior that the school does offer, who don't treat other children well.  I am not sure that equates to a school bullying problem.  To me it sounds like logical consequences.  Our child feels secure there and comfortable in his skin; to me, that is the opposite of a school with a bullying climate.  He is not a 'cool' kid.  Just normal.  The fact that he feels so good there is what makes it a cool school to me.
Vis the uniform--used to be much fussier.  The kids' favorite uniform item are their athletic shirts that just say LATIN across the back and items like that.  People have stopped us in the street to ask about them.  And btw, Sidwell kids look messy to me too as they amble to Tenleytown for the cappuccino hangout at Starbucks.  I guess I have just gotten used to/appreciative of a uniform and the fact that it just removes a distractor from academic and social life.  And the kids looked so wonderful at their dance--wow, and proud to be there!
BTW, we have found the math program to be stellar.  If you wish to peek at curriculum go to the school's webpage and look at the HW wikis--you can get a bit of insight.
Both schools (DEAL and LATIN) are really good; like others have said, you are blessed!  Enjoy the decision.
