SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Survey Question on bullying

SQE’s study of the demographic characteristics of Ontario families who choose private schools showed that the top reason for choosing private schools common to parents at both academically-defined and religiously-defined schools was safety.  Bullying is often the reason why parents move their children to other public schools or into private schools.  The next survey question asks about your personal experience with bullying either with your own child or grandchild, or friend’s child,  for instance.   There is an opportunity to leave your comments as well by clicking on View Results.  Results will be posted in the next newsletter. 

Last term’s survey question asked readers “Do you support school vouchers?”  79% said YES and 21% said NO
