[quote=Anonymous]When people are happy with their school environment (especially privates) there is a natural tendency to tenaciously defend that school from any criticism. In this case to diminish the experiences of other families and denigrate indiscriminately those children who did not have positive interactions (whether actually bullying or lessor unkindness, both of which occur at any school), in my opinion, places the entire school community in a negative light which is quite unfortunate as it is not reflective of the overall community. There will always be children at every school who are marginalized by their classmates and the consequences can have lasting negative effects. Burgundy is not immune from these issues no matter how nurturing the overall environment. Shouldn't we as adults and as role models for our children respond in kindness and compassion to those who feel their children were treated unkindly? To do otherwise would make it appear that the parents are behaving no better than the children. People can have different experiences at a school--any school. Be thankful if yours were positive, but also recognize that your positive experiences do not mean that no one else had negative experiences.[/quote]
