[quote=Anonymous]OP, since you asked about Campbell, our child is a K student there and we haven't heard him mention anything like the behavior you are describing.  The class has a morning meeting each day during which I believe there can be discussions about peer issues/behavior that arise.  The community meetings take place on Friday and the entire school participates, including parents if they wish.  The students in my DC's K class created their own rules to govern class behavior, which includes being kind, and the school actively promotes its school-wide code of conduct (at the community meeting all the students recite the code of conduct).  I have the impression that the teachers and administration work really hard to build and reinforce a sense of community and strongly emphasize and support kindness and peer mentorship among the students.   Our experience is that the older kids look out for the younger ones.  So we're extremely happy with our experience at Campbell so far and chose to send our DC there rather than our neighborhood school, which probably would be viewed as statistically more desirable by some of the PPs.  We love our experience at Campbell so far, it is a special place in so many great ways.[/quote]
