[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child at Kenmore. The teachers are really engaged and there is no “constant violence.” That’s ridiculous. Some kids cause problems - mostly minor ones - but the rest avoid them. It was no different in my Midwest school growing up.

I appreciate that my child is learning to live in a world that is diverse and not just surrounded by a bunch of rich white kids.[/quote]

I guess that experiences differ. After 3 months, we pulled our child from Kenmore and were fortunate to find a private school with a last minute opening. The teachers were fine but they were totally occupied with the bad apples. The bullying was horrific. DD is so much happier now. [/quote]

How long ago was this?[/quote]

Different poster here. We pulled our DD out in March to private after bullying at Kenmore. We tried to work with the administration but the issue continued.  Our child is now successful once we left Kenmore.[/quote]

New poster. We also pulled our child mid year (this was last school year) and home schooled until we started private this year. We had some good teachers at Kenmore but they weren’t always able to teach because they had to spend so much time dealing with behavior and other classroom issues. The bullying was out of control at certain times and even after trying to work with the school it just felt like their hands were tied. Private has its issues but the behavior aspect is night and day different. [/quote]
