[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is definitely not something that can be generalized that way. Every school, indeed every grade within a school, can be different.[/quote] This.[/quote] This. My kid went to one of small privates in DC known for "being nice." There was a ton of bullying and other behavior issues. His public has stricter expectations of the kids and as a selective school, and if things happen the school is on it immediately. Not the leniency that seemed to exist in the private.[/quote] Small privates can be nightmarish for bullying because the administration doesn't want to upset parents (especially ones who are donors) and the school is also usually small enough you can't even separate a bully from the kid being bullied (like you would be able to do at a larger school)...sometimes they have to be together from K-12, and the bully's behavior just gets worse and worse each year.
