[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The incident in December is probably more problematic than you think. People are paying $$$ for private school to escape the behavior that public school teachers can’t kick out of their classroom. [/quote]

I bet the other family decided to make a big stink about it. I know from conversations with my relative with a kid in private and my own experience that a lot of this turns on whether the other parent/s decide to gang up on your kid. [/quote]

Privates can counsel out anytime for any reason. Sidwell is the worst of all the schools. Sidwell also made multiple lives of people with cancer harder. For example, one student had to repeat a year for treatment. The parents asked if the student could at least go to prom with the student’s friends (who did not fall back). The school said no.

If this happened to my kid, I would treat it like any bad relationship my kid were caught up in: I would get my child out quickly. People who put these schools up on pedestals are shallow and short-sighted. They are tools that should be used when they work and discarded when they don’t.

There are schools out there who care about things like kids’ friendships. If you care, pick a school that will consider that before counseling out.[/quote]
