Seen a version of this where donors kid started to look at other schools and when head of school asked about why they were leaving. Donor said DC was not being adequately recognized for accomplishments. She was pretty open about it with other parents saying she thought it was unfair other kids were getting awards and not hers. The DC stayed and, lo and behold, is getting some interesting recognition and opportunities at the school.
