[quote=Anonymous]There is indeed a fine line between bullying and being unkind.  However, shouldn't all schools and teachers endeavor to make a safe environment for all children entrusted in their care irrespective of whether they are special needs?  I keep seeing posts insinuating that the children who don't fit in are somehow less deserving of kindness and intervention because someone believes them to be on the spectrum, adhd, etc--whether or not that is actually true.  I would think that any school which enrolls any child would make it their mission to ensure the physical and emotional safety of that child.  Are you somehow saying that should not be the case if the child is quirky, slow to mature, adhd or has some other "issue" you find objectionable?  Bullying, childhood meanness and excluding children is present in all school environments but I would think that a school whose mission is to "educate the whole child" and focuses on diversity would also make its mission the welfare of all children they enroll.  As past or present parents of the school are you disagreeing with that position?  As a former Burgundy parent I am genuinely confused by the responses posted above.[/quote]
