[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a kid a Thoreau who is being cyber bullied at Thoreau in really terrible, scary ways way above and beyond typical middle school bullying and BS (threats of rape, posting x-rated porn on their social media account, telling them they have no friends, everyone hates them and they should leave,etc) to the point the admin police have become involved, based on a number and type of threats. The parents have tried working with the school, but the situation is getting worse not better, and they are looking at needing to pull their child out mid year.  [b]If that type of thing is going on on a widespread basis in middle schoo [/b]and the administration can't effectively address it, I would't send my kid there. [/quote]

I have a child at TMS (not aap) and this is not "wide spread" -- thank god b/c it sounds absolutely horrible.  I don't know anything about this issue.  My child is more of a wall flower but has had no concerns with bullying.  Thoreau is very welcoming and well-run.  Lots of communication, lots of support for extras (pta) -- kind of "the land of milk and honey".  But, I wouldn't put it past middle schoolers to bully someone.  I am heart-broken to hear that any kid at TMS is being victimized as you describe.  It is not typical, but it is cause for the administration to lay down the law and punish whoever is responsible.  There is absolutely no excuse for anything like you describe.  It does not represent TMS.  [/quote]

There was bad cyberbullying going on at Kilmer when my kids were there a few years ago. One of the perpetrators was suspended and transferred to Luther Jackson.  Cyberbullying goes on wherever there are kids and social media. All the local middle schools have dealt with it and are dealing with it.  I would not use a rumor you heard about one school to determine where to send your kid to middle school.
