[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The majority of privates aren’t better, they just have the ability to cherry pick their students and expel those that don’t comply with their rules.[/b] I am also a huge supporter of free and public education for all. I want my children to have the opportunity to interact with peers from all walks of life.

The only reason I would consider private schools is if there was a serious safety concern. But again, private schools aren’t immune to that either. [/quote]

That is literally what makes them better. Privates are not perfect but bad apples are routinely expelled for things public admins just ignore and/or cover up.[/quote]

Ehh. Whether or not things are reported to the community isn’t the school ignoring or covering it up. You’re dealing with minor children and the school community isn’t entitled to know how the perpetrator was disciplined.

Regardless, one of the top privates in this county had one of the worst cases of bullying by the daughter of an administrator, along with her clique of mean girls. That grade level has significantly lower enrollment numbers. I’ve spoken to students and parents at that school that were all aware it was happening but in their viewpoint, the school didn’t intervene. In fact there was a massive coverup involved and even one of the victim’s parents weren’t informed. Whether they disciplined the perpetrators, who knows.

Another top private in Montgomery county had a significant drinking and drugging culture. I know at least one student was expelled but the school never communicated with parents how deep the drug dealing was and that a staff member was allowed to resign in lieu of being fired.[/quote]
