[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was probably revived by one of the non-magnet student bullies at one of the ms magnets.  [/quote]

The only bullies at our magnet school are the ones being bussed in for the magnet.  The locals are just fine.  My kids are both locals and attend the magnets.  This is Pine Crest and Eastern.  Kids from further east and north are problems.  Just an fyi.  [/quote]

I've had kids those same schools and the one at Eastern has expericed bullying all from local non magnet students. (Not an isolated incident either- but different kids in different years). My kids have never experienced bullying from within the magnet. The bullies target the magnet kids so if your kids are not in magnets then you might not realize that this is happening.

This is not a slam on Eastern though. The administration has handled the bullying extremely well. I've been impressed. [/quote]

This is the PP.  My kids were/are in the magnet and only had trouble with those kids bussed in.  They were local as well so road the bus with everyone from the neighborhood.  We had the same issue with Pine Crest (everyone local was fine - mean girls were those bussed in for the magnet).

I would say that middle school is terrible no matter where you are and it might be random who is your problem.  Problem kids and mean bullies come from everywhere.  We filed two different reports for two different kids (who were bussed in).

It's definitely not only the local people, however.

PP here. My objection was that you said that there were no bullies who were not in the magnet. That is not our experience.  And the bullying has been targeted at magnet kids.  My child has been bullied just last week by someone in the comprehensive program. I don't doubt that there are also bullies in the magnet but that hasn't been our experience.

Our child at Pine Crest has not had any issues with bullies but there was an incident this year where a non magnet kid beat up a few kids in the magnet (because they were in the magnet). [/quote]
