DC's school has first graders dropping F bombs, calling other students b****, and threatening to beat up kids at the end of the year.

The behavior issues that I'm seeing in private would not even be considered a behavior at the publics I've worked at.


The extent that schools come down like a sack of bricks with respect to misbehavior or laugh it off varies wildly. My kid scribbling something silly on a chair in pencil got me a phone call from the principal of her toe-the-line elementary school.

Do private schools allow students to assault teachers or destroy classrooms?

Ha! The behavior issues we saw in our private school would be not acceptable in public school and probably exceed what anyone would find acceptable in any affluent public school. It was truly shocking and eye opening. The school was well aware of the behavior problems but didn’t want to counsel out and couldn’t figure out how to deal with them. Small schools often attract kids whose parents think their child “needs” private school. This can result in a lot of kids with wealthy parents that are not neurotypical or have social or emotional challenges.


You do realize that life could turn on a dime and it could be your kid that has "social or emotional challenges", right? Also, you still haven't given any examples of the behaviors...

Sounds like you haven’t been to a public school in a while. The things permitted today are beyond belief. OTOH, our private expelled a child last month.

I think the focus should be on what a school does with behavioral issues. Do they roll over and allow it or do they crack down?

And define what age. Behavior problems in lower elementary (talking back, not following rules) is different than high school (drinking on school trip, cheating)

There were some kids with behavioral issues who were admitted during the pandemic. They were counseled out once the school went back to in person learning and the issues escalated.

We left a DC private last year because the behavior problems were so bad in elementary school.

Be honest - how common are these in your school?
