[quote=Anonymous]BF has a very weak head of school (very underwhelming and really doesn't want to deal with the social, emotional, or academic issues...he leaves that to the assistant head). The assistant head is as cold as ice, very unfriendly and really makes parents feel like "they" are the problem. She talks down to them. It's infuriating. Until those two leave, there will be no positive changes for the school. There is definitely a bullying issue at school in all grade levels - any school will have bullying issues. It is how the administration handles it...that is what it comes down to. And they have a counselor who is very ineffective and kids are afraid of her. She's got Burgundy connections but that doesn't make her qualified. They won't admit to the fact that they can't be a fit for all kids, they want to be all things to all people. It's well-intended, and if they had the resources to handle that, fine, but they just don't and they over promise and can't deliver, which comes at the expense of other families who should very much be there.  The school board really has a lot to look into. The school is taking a lot of risks, not communicating with parents, and they are losing good people over it, people who have all the Burgundy qualities within their families (whether they are environmental activists, big on volunteering, building community, or have some other major talent they can bring to the school).
