[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:40 - I am sorry to inform you that you are not as clever as you think.  I am the 12:01 poster, but did not post either of the other posts you mentioned.  I am, and clearly so are others, interested  and/or concerned about the claims of social bullying in certain classes at STA.

To everyone else, it seems strange for boys this age to be participating in social bullying.  Can anyone give real examples or is this just lies or exaggerations of a disgruntled parent?[/quote]

It's particularly important since some of these people inquiring might have sons applying to the 7th grade and this forum, for all of its god-awfulness, does from time-to-time include information that is not gained from other sources.  Perhaps people love to target STA, however, there is a discernible lack of similar information about other comparable schools where their sons may be applying.

Hence the concern from reasonable people about social bullying, which obviously means exclusion and is damn hurtful, about the current 6th and 7th graders. [/quote]

STA is a wonderful school and community and most boys and parents are so kind and supportive and just normal. That being said, I am a not the poster above but I will also confirm that I too have heard from a few different parents that there is social exclusion happening in one of the grades mentioned above and that the parents of those boys are encouraging the behavior. I have heard this from different parents that have no reason to lie and they are not even friends with one another but yet their stories corroborate. I have heard examples but if I list them here that would not be nice as it would openly out these boys and their parents and I don't want to do that. I will add that unfortunately upon hearing these things I was not surprised as the apples don't fall far from the tree...[/quote]
