[quote=Anonymous]Yes, after my experience in bad public schools getting several of my teeth knocked out by an angry classmate while we were in class I have chosen to spend much of my discretionary income putting my kids in a different environment. I have no regrets about this.[/quote]

Funny, I had two front teeth knocked out/chipped in separate incidents at my fancy private. [/quote]

No you didn’t…unless those incidents occurred while playing sports.[/quote]

Incidents like this happen during middle school recess at private schools all the time. Private school kids aren’t special snowflakes of ethics and kindness.

Exceptions don’t make a rule. My children attended “great” Ward 3 DCPS schools through 8th grade. Now they attend a “Big 3” private school. I don’t believe that private school kids are “special snowflakes of ethics and kindness.” However, I know that my children’s school would NEVER tolerate the chair throwing, hitting, and cursing (at both fellow students and teachers) that my children witnessed on a regular basis…often INSIDE the classroom.

Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence by trying to pretend that equivalent behavior is typically found at both types of school. One school can quickly show the misbehaving child the door. The other school has to often spend years trying to remove a violent child.[/quote]
