[quote=Anonymous]Re Hardy: I don’t know if this is a particularly bad year for behavioral issues and it needed to be cracked down on… but my kid and their group of friends say that the admin and many of the teachers have bought into a really bizarre system of demerits which they employ all willy nilly all day long at kids for any old thing: talking too much (INFRACTION), wrong sweater color (INFRACTION), ACTUALLY DOUBLE INFRACTION for being out of uniform and not-complying… it’s bizarre, sounds desperate and I hate to say it, but it’s slightly comical. There are so many emails about discipline. Is it really that bad? I don’t know. I try to stay out of it…but the kids are not super happy there. Then again it’s also middle school so who knows; it’s a sucky time for a lot of kids.  I’ve had multiple kids over different admin go there and this crew is weird. I don’t get what they’re about. Some teachers are really lovely and great and then there are some total duds which I guess you could argue happens in all schools. We’ve also had lots of teacher absence as an issue there even pre Covid and under previous Principal. It is small compared to Deal and generally a nice community. It feels nicely racially and economically diverse but I don’t know for sure. Also—yes—can confirm some of these kids are getting high…its middle school. It happens. [/quote]
