[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a middle schooler who was generally bullied and ultimately punched during a serious incident by another student. All in the fall. Horrible, terrible start to the school year, and we even kept our kid home a bit. Yet, long story short, we ended the school year feeling like the adults really rallied, attended to our kid, and gave the situation the serious attention it deserved. And then on another note our ADHD kid ended up having his best academic performance ever in the last trimester. So he begged to stay even though I was halfway out the door by like Thanksgiving and applying to privates... So a very, very mixed bag. As another poster said, it really depends on who is in your kid’s class… and whether your kid is the target. Most public schools aren’t going to expel kids so then it’s really really hard… this year was a master class for our son in avoiding/navigating this one toxic kid. But that is just public school I guess… there’s no magic place for the mean/violent/problem kids to disappear to. It took a beat… but I ended up appreciating the school response to some really hard stuff.[/quote]

Thank you, PP. I'm so sorry your kid was mistreated. Can you say more about what the school actually did, though? I'm an upper elementary parent at ITDS and it's maddening how little anyone will tell me about this stuff.[/quote]

Mom is this you? WAIT IT IS OMG[/quote]
