[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent posts prompted me to inquire of my son this afternoon.  He actually said there was a second physical altercation recently!.  He also says he likes the 2021 class but it is his class (2022) that is full of psycho bullies.[/quote]

Wha????  As an STA parent with a 2022 student I think you are really off base here.  Its a nice class.[/quote]

It depends on your experience. If your son and you have been happy you probably think it's a great class and that is great. There are many nice kids and parents. But for other kids and parents they don't feel that way obviously. I also hear differing opinions from parents in the class below you – 2023 as well. Some parents like it but I am hearing for the first time from several different parents in the grade that that class is changing for the worse and is being hijacked by a couple of jerky kids and a couple of jerky parents who are consumed with social engineering. Apparently they are doing the same thing in their other sons' class too. Hopefully it will change.[/quote]

What are some of the ways parents contribute to this?  Such a shame. I truly thought that the boys at STA look out for one another. [/quote]

From the Upper School perspective, they do.  Parents much less of a factor.  Every private school I know of seems to have more helicopter parents in the elementary and middle school grades.  St. Albans actually has a lower key parent body than some other schools, I've found; perhaps because the school gently shoos the parents out of the day to day workings.  (I see that as a plus.)[/quote]
