[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think experiences at schools are often random. Often it just depends on individual teachers and peers. If you happen to get a demanding teacher and become friends with students who have high academic standards for themselves, you can get a great education at an overall mediocre school. [/quote]

This. Bullying can happen everywhere but neither of my kids (now in 12th grade and in college) have experienced it throughout APS and I don't recall any of my friends with kids in the schools complaining about it with their kids. I asked DD about it when she was at TJ MS, when there had been a news report about bullying at Kenmore and she said she'd never heard of it being a problem there. She had a wide range of friends, as did DS, and they both did well there and at W-L.[/quote]

There are a lot of social shifts in MS and some kids might feel left out by those changes, but neither of my kids or their various friends experienced bullying in MS. I’m sure it happens in pockets but it wasn’t a widespread issue. [/quote]
