[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child went to an HGC and now Eastern.  There is a lot of bullying at Eastern by the non-magnet kids towards the magnet kids.  The guidance counselor has been great, and the administration generally responsive, but it is still a problem.  On balance, though, the peer group within the program is supportive.  At the HGC, there were fewer problems.  Probably just the age of the kids. [/quote]
Would agree with this.  My kid would come back with horrible stories from his PE class mostly.  He did not feel like the teachers did enough to control these behavioral problems and very often the admin would just transfer a problem kid from one PE class to another class making it another child's problem.  Having said that there was very limited interaction with non-magnet kids at school except in PE.  Even science and math classes were mostly magnet kids and magnet kids tended to sit together at lunch.  To the best of my knowledge there was no bullying within the magnet program itself - it seemed like a very healthy and supportive environment especially for a middle school![/quote]

Yes, I am the pp you are quoting and the bullying is in PE class. Agree with everything else you said too. [/quote]
