[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP with a specific angle: anyone with experience in public & private that can speak more to bullying?  We're dealing with minor teasing / pushing in 1st grade (public) that I'm concerned will get worse over time.[/quote]

We had bullying in public and both times (separate schools) the Principal just nipped it in the bud - immediately responsive and talked to the children and the parents.

Have you sought help from the administration? Its a good idea to make contact and be succinct and clear about what is happening. You don't need to embellish with how you feel about it or any of that, just keep to the details. If your child is devastated by it, say so.[/quote]

We're working with the teacher now, and don't have a problem talking to the principal.  DW seems to think that we need to find another school.  I don't think that will necessarily change anything, and could make it worse.

My experience with private / parochial schools growing up was pretty similar, with minor bullying.  I just don't have any experience that's more recent or in the DC area.[/quote]
