[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a child at my child's private school who repeatedly physically attacked other students and teachers in her first year at the school.  This behavior included using her fists to beat on others, kicking , shoving, throwing large objects at others, and more.  The child in question was allowed to stay at the school.

Many parents are upset and angry, confused and shocked,  that this child was allowed to remain for a second year.  Many of her peers are also very confused and shocked that she did not seem to get in much trouble for her behavior other than being "talked to" and sent to the school counselor.

Frankly, I think there should be a two strikes (first time suspension and counseling, second time expulsion) and you are out policy for physical attacks of any kind on another person.  My child doesn't feel safe around this other kid, none of the other kids do.[/quote]

If you don't like the school's handling (or non-handling), withdraw.  It's a private school.  You gave up 100% of your rights when you cut the check.

Or, speak with the administration about the problem, and ask others who are concerned to do the same.  One doesn't give up any rights by paying a tuition check.  I have found our kids' school to be very responsive to considering parents' concerned.  There are times when schools, like any organizations, make mistakes.  Let them know your thoughts respectfully and see how it goes.  [/quote]
