So rising 4th grade has bullying issues?

Apparently a kid lost his front teeth when another kid threw a rock at him. Thousands of dollars in future dental work expected.

OP is correct. Potential parents should ask the school about this.

I have no idea about the bullying but we are turning down MV for pk4 this week.

I suspect this thread was started by a parent who wants their kid to get in to MV and is trying to scare off parents who have already chosen/are considering choosing it so they can move the wait list.

You get so close to logic and reason and then you engage in the exact same DCUM BS in which the OP engaged. Sure, they're trolling. And telling them to buzz off makes sense. But you're as full of BS and come off as incredibly defensive when you suggest that only people who have a kid somewhere or live somewhere should chime in. That's not how DCUM works; it's how your school's list serve works.

That was me. I have nothing to do with MV but I recognize bullshit when I see it.

This thread should be retitled "bullying @ DCUM"

troll alert! troll alert!!!

*It's....before the grammar police attacks

It true though.....

Classic dcum "concerned citizen"

What a stupid thread by someone just trying to stir the pot. Worry about a school where you are a parent.

If you are not a parent there or considering the school then why are you starting this thread?

I'm not a parent at MV but was at an event where there were stories exchanged about rampant cases of bullying at the school. I understand some bullying may occur but teachers and admin must have no interest in controlling this bad behavior. As i am not a parent there, i don't know how much of this is true, but i heard of kids being violently attacked (stones thrown) and pushed off, etc. If this is the case, is the school just pushing down the rug or actually doing something about it?
