[quote=Anonymous]I'm so happy to have happened across this forum. As a WES parent, I feel vindicated. I see my initial thoughts about the school, which I have been keeping bottled up inside all school year, are true. WES claims to be a "nurturing" school, but that cannot be any further from the truth. There is indeed bullying, only it's a little more covert than the cases you hear in the media. The children can be overly pretentious, bossy and mean-spirited to any child that doesn't exactly fit the "WES Way." My daughter is very eccentric, extremely outgoing and unfortunately has parents who don't exactly have a million dollar income -- those children spotted her a mile away. Unfortunately, the teachers and administrators can get caught up in elitist behaviors too. They definitely cater to and stroke the more wealthier families (and their children, no matter how ill-mannered they may be). These are things I observed this year as a first-time WES parent. For months I struggled with talking to other parents to see if I was crazy or my feelings were actually true. The sad thing is WES parents are extremely clique-ish. If you're not part of the club, forget about it. It's very much a good ole boy environment. Just one parent's opinion.[/quote]
