[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who said something about getting a Deal placement, it is not the promised land. [b]As a Deal parent, I'm not certain bullying is dealt with much better there.[/b] I have heard (from my kid and other parents) many stories about kids being beat up, kicked, pushed into lockers, pushed down stairs, etc. Look at the recent thread on Deal behavior about a student's hair almost being caught on fire. The school does little to nothing about addressing this behavior and claims their hands are tied. You have to file a police report which, when dealing with children 11-14 years old, is just heartbreaking. [/quote]
 
Is there any school that actually has a [u]good[/u] reputation for handling bullying?  I feel like it's the Achilles heel of every school, public and often private too (we are zoned for Deal but have an elementary kid in private; will decide later whether to send kid to Deal or stay put).

I don’t know if a school that handles bullying well. Friends with kids at prominent private deal with bullying too but it is not as physical as being punched in the face during class or having a boy pull a girl’s pants down in class. Private schools seem to have more social bullying, which can be worse in some ways.[/quote]
