My child's happiness and education is not worth the cost of a 'win'. Ultimately, [b]bullies will lose because kids who are bullies tend to get into trouble with the law later in life[/b]. [/quote]

Unfortunately, that's not true. A lot of the old ideas about bullies have been proven wrong--they tend to have very high-esteem and are not the losers we like to think they are. It's true that violent kids tend to get into trouble later in life, but most of the bullying we're talking about involves cellphones, not fistfights.

[quote]A good school is relative. Our high school is top-rated in the country but the climate there is stifling.  The problem with not letting an 8 year old (or however age) derail your life plan is that your kid pays the price if the administration is unwilling or unable to handle the situation effectively.

[b]Did you know that if you give the chance for the school to resolve it and they don't, the county then has to shell out for private school tuition?[/b] I didn't pull this ripcord, but apparently, it's true.

This is an argument for exactly what I said--take it up with the school and try to solve the issue rather than run away from it.[/quote]
