[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP— everyone has anticdotes.  Some of the nicest, kindest most accepting, most supportive kids I know are my DC1’s friends  at TJ.  DC2 is applying this year, and I don’t see much difference between her friends who are applying and those that are not. Almost all of them are good, kind kids who were raised well.  But my kids have great friends.

I do know that TJ has low incidences of bullying and cyber bullying (and substance abuse).  And that I have heard of some terrible instances of bullying in the base high schools from parents of the kids being bullied. A freshman girl who started receiving dick pics from a group of boys due to an organized effort to harass her. It got so bad she started refusing to go to school.  Her parents have had to involve the police. Another girls who is fit and active but large boned. A group of girls has been standing behind her in the cafeteria every day, and writing down every mouthful of food she eats, telling he how many calories it has, and distributing her food log too the school hallways  Both girls are incredibly nice, kind people and are not “asking for” this treatment.  But base school kids are dishing it out.  And I would never say that isolated problems hear about mean all the kids in these schools are bullies.

Maybe you should realize that the handful of parents you know who cannot be bothered to raise kids properly are not indicative of all, or even most, TJ kids. And that some (but not most or all) base school kids can little sh*ts who treat other people terribly.   Certainly you know better than to generalize to an entire group of thousands of kids based on a handful you know?

And PP is right.  The fact you are willing to slam all AAP or TJ kids, or all kids in families that prioritize academics makes me wonder exactly what you are teaching your kids about acceptance and tolerance and not being judgmental.  Character does indeed count. But in my mind, people of character don’t judge an entire group based on the actions of a few families.  Is that the character you teach your kid? [/quote]

For both of your examples, what do the parents know? I think that's the big issue. A lot of times bad behavior happens because people don't feel like it's their place to tell parents what their kids are doing is wrong. I've seen that happen many, many times.[/quote]
