[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what the reasonable expectation is here, that somehow bullying exists only in public schools and shouldn't in private schools?[/quote]

I think it’s reasonable to assume that if it’s a private school with many levels of leadership and you are paying $50k a year per kid and their mantra is No bullying, then the school will help out and look into bad behaviors seriously. 
And those progressive schools harping about socio-emotional stuff should coach children and parents out of bullying conflicts together. Or have serious talks with repeat offenders. [/quote]

Right.  The problem is with that private schools, if a parent is very active and/or a big donor, the bullying kid stays and your kid has to go.  This dynamic does not really exist in public schools.[/quote]

We found that the teachers are the choke point at our Pk-12. For concerns on academic performance and behavior.

Even with multiple separate questions and concerns voiced about one young bully, the teacher waves it off and says everyone is good. Or this year it’s, the kids forgot how to socialize.

It was shocking to get pulled aside by various parents recently and asked about a particular dynamic in one of our childrens classrooms we were largely unaware of. Then when we asked our child, they had months of terrible examples of what’s been going on. And our child was spot on, saying Isn’t it ironic we have all these classes on kindness and inclusivity and then this keeps going on.

Anything to keep the All is Well facade at private school. [/quote]
