[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, $40,000 for an amazing education and a bump for NCS/STA.

Blatant bullying is not tolerated at Beauvoir, but unfortunately there are relational aggression issues that are more subtle and, therefore, harder for teachers to address.  They do their best, but sometimes it's best just to separate kids to break up a persistent dynamic. [/quote]

So "relational aggression issues" is the $40,000 phrase for "bullying?"  I'm gonna remember that one...[/quote]

Only if you want to be simplistic.  Relational aggression is a rather subtle form of bullying. That's why it's harder for teachers to respond to. Teasing, attempts to exclude a child, or other more blatant forms of bullying are immediately addressed at Beauvoir, and the school overall is very sensitive and responsive to that.  However, it's harder to tackle the more subtle stuff.  [/quote]

Such as, sorry, I won't be inviting you to my bday party?[/quote]

If it is, certainly you recognize that there is nothing a teacher can do about that, right? That type of behavior has to be nipped in the bud by the parents. [/quote]

And, while most Beauvoir parents are wonderful, there are a few who are disengaged and believe that being a good parent means allowing their children to do whatever they want.

And that's everywhere and in every school, private and public alike.[/quote]

Am I the only one who thinks it's perfectly fine for my kids to choose whom they want to invite to THEIR bday parties?

(And, I reserve the right to invite a few families and kids I want to invite)[/quote]

That's exactly what I was thinking, PP.

Ladies, perhaps there is a reason that your little snowflakes are excluded. If they are as insufferable in their conversation as the dialogue in the last few pages of this thread, I think you have your answer. [/quote]
