[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent of a rising 4th grader at TR4 and I'm not aware of any behavioral issues. The 5th grade cohort is really small and I haven't heard of any issues there, either. I can't speak to what's happening at the Young Campus.[/quote]

The thing with behavior is it's not always poor classroom control or widespread minor behavior stuff. It has to do with how the school handles really serious behaviors, like assault or kids with serious emotional or psychological problems. You can go years without having firsthand experience with this kind of thing. But then there will be a major incident and people are often really disappointed in how the school handles it. Yes, these things can arise unpredictability, but how the school manages the aftermath and prevents future issues is a big deal. And if parents feel like they're being gaslit or woke-shamed into tolerating behaviors like severe bullying or things that are actually physically dangerous, then they'll be really unhappy. Just one incident can speak volumes about how the schools handles things, and people don't forget. The school will say "it's just that one kid" but it's not-- it's more than one kid, and the common thread is the school not handling it appropriately. [/quote]
