[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've known several kids who left GDS around the upper elementary/middle school level because they were being bullied and excluded. These kids had started in 3rd or 4th grade. Perhaps that's the exception, but it's worth mentioning. These kids moved on to Sidwell, Field School, and Aidan Montessori.[/quote] Interesting...I wonder when this happened? We were told that the curriculum is such that when children enter the late elementary years (esp. 5th grade) there is a tremendous focus on conflict resolution. Perhaps this change was spurred on by these incidents and increased school sensitivity to bullying in general? DC is in K, so we haven't reached this part of the school yet--but I have to say that the the administration and current parents' comments about how GDS handles bullying seem quite thoughtful and pro-active.[/quote]
