[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ... I do know of one family specifically moved (not just changed schools) because their daughter was getting bullied so bad at school and online. One girl in particular is almost being pushed to leave but I think her parents are still keeping her there. There have been many friend dramas.

SSSAS is a small school. So,  let’s not pretend we don’t know who your friend who “had to move” is.

The reason she had to move out of the area is because her kid was already on school #3 or #4.  Her daughter was underachieving, had behavior problems, and every bad grade, according to the mother, was the fault of teacher A or teacher B. The “bullying” were civilized class discussions where she didn’t have the skills to defend her views. Not to mention, again according to the mother, the school had already told her the daughter would be happier elsewhere. It was a hint that her kid wasn't up to the standards, and she should move on before they expel her. The mother still registered the student again!

The parents of this girl (particularly the mother) are belligerent and hostile people, who thrive on gossip and drama.  Last time I heard from the mother, the girl was already having problems in her new school because (surprise!) the teachers where she is “aren’t good enough” and administrators “are Marxists.” See the pattern here?

School hopping does not solve the problem when the problem is how you raise your kids or when you have the moral turpitude to use them to bully teachers and administrators in order to advance your white supremacist agenda.

So, to answer the OP question, the school culture is doing much better since this family left.

:shock:

I have nothing to do with the school - wandered in here because we are nearby and debating SSSAS or public for our young kid.

Do other SSSAS parents think this post is ok?  It's reading like an ad for Alexandria City High School to me.[/quote]
Yeah clearly someone wanted to include white supremacist in there without any other information to back it up.  [b]Seems like at SSSAS if you are not liberal you are a racist. [/b] [/quote]

No, but if you are trumpy you are pretty racist. I

Anyway, the school has many conservatives who are outspoken “never Trumpers”. There are also people who were IN the Trump admin who badmouth Trump and “Trumpy voters”.[b] SSSAS is not a great place to be if your family is pro-Trump and proud,[/b] but that’s likely true of nearly every school in the DC area.[/quote]

Well that is at least reassuring. [/quote]

I'm the person who originally posted calling out whether other SSSAS parents think this post about a student was ok... I didn't read it as Trump- or Republican-related, though maybe if you know the families involved, it is?

I'm super put off by someone sharing a bunch of her own judgements about someone else's kid not being up to standards, underachieving and having behavior problems - which is just inappropriate to do anonymously on a website at all.  Then he/she also hilariously talks about that student's parents "thriving on gossip and drama" not two seconds before implying that they are still in touch.  I wonder if this frenemy mom knows how you are talking about her and her kid online, PP.

If this mean girl behavior is representative of SSSAS parents - I want no part of that.

A lot of what you hear about "mean girl behavior" among SSSAS students is a result of being children of "mean girl" mothers. But that's true for other private schools, isn't it?

I'd say that despite that, there are a lot  of very nice people at SSSAS. I'd say the majority of parents are very nice people. And so are their children!
