[quote=Anonymous]Sad. The posters who left because of bullying and the one who stayed despite of it both brought back gut wrenching memories for me about our experience with the school. Our DC was bullied in the lower school for a few years. At first, we were deferential to the school to let them handle hit, but when they did absolutely nothing, we knew we needed a plan out. We decided to stay as long as we did because it wasn't easy to find another school for DC, bad entry years, stay in NOVA or go to a DC school. We decided to stick it out one last year to give us time to find another school and we would do everything in our power to prevent something bad from happening. We never should have stayed the extra year -- it was awful, just awful, makes my stomach hurt awful. I have never been so disappointed in a group of adults supervising children.

We found a new school and now have the ability to compare and contrast how each school differs in the climate they choose to create. Our DC hasn't been bullied at the new school, and has really blossomed into a confident kid. The new school takes a much more proactive stance to bullying.

SSSAS has a beautiful campus and many wonderful families, but tragically has a culture that is a real deal breaker. [/quote]
