[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can she be in a different class next year with different kids? If she is going to be with same kids for the duration I would switch too. [/quote]

There are no other classes - it’s one class per grade. [/quote]

OP, just curious, do you have other children at the school? We are in a similar situation with our fourth grade DD at a small school with just one class per grade. DD is really struggling socially and we’re considering public, but we have another child who has lucked out and is in a class with mostly easy going kids and seems to be thriving at the small school. Overall, I’m not thrilled with how the school handles mean kids so am tempted to pull both kids out. Just wondering if you’ve got another kid factoring into your decision.[/quote]

This is our exact situation and I am wondering now if we are at the same school and the same grade even. Are your children attending a Catholic school in McLean? Our 4th grade DD’s class has several mean kids and the school’s talk through apologies approach simply is not making a difference. They say many of the right things but until they stand behind policies and remove certain children from the class nothing will change. Some, though not all, of those include children in families with a lot of presence in the school and parish and we are not naive to think they will do anything there. We originally applied out this year to give ourselves options next year if it seemed as though nothing was changing, and since it hasn’t we made the decision to move both of our children to another private next year.

It’s awful that these schools all talk about being strong against bullying when this thread suggests the opposite. [/quote]
