The behavior issues that I'm seeing in private would not even be considered a behavior at the publics I've worked at.
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.
What private school was this?
This is also true for schools with a lot of outdoor space (esp K-8’s). “My child just needs to get their energy out during the day” 🙄

We are switching to public bc of private’s lack of engagement in bullying. It’s the middle of the road privates that attract overly entitled families
