[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the positive statements about Cooper's administration, especially principal Arlene Randall. (Hope she does not retire soon.) Great leader, does not give in to pushy parents or bullies of any kind.

In other ways the school culture strongly emphasizes kindness as a value as well. As you walk through the halls, you see every door has a different quote on the topic. [/quote]

I expect it was easier for Randall to keep tabs on individual Cooper students than it was for Kihm to keep tabs on individual Longfellow students, when Cooper had 750 kids and Longfellow had 1375 kids, including a lot of AAP kids whose base school was Cooper.

Things will change as the enrollments at Cooper increase and at Longfellow decrease.  Kihm is generally very involved, and Longfellow also takes specific steps that emphasize kindness as a value, including recognizing students for generally being kind to their peers.  That's actually been a positive change at the school - when our first started there, the only students who seemed to be recognized were AAP students winning Science Olympiad awards or getting named to some top orchestra.

Cooper has had AAP for two years now and it's no different for my daughter than when my son attended Cooper before AAP.  My kids have not experienced any kind bullying.    [/quote]
