[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher my preference would be to teach in a solidly middle class school, but not upper middle class. Honestly, dealing with demanding parents can be just as much of a headache as dealing with the student behavior issues you deal with in low ses schools. And no, I don't care about the "treats" that the parents n the high SES schools dish out. [/quote] My teacher DH would agree with this 100%, with the caveat that DH doesn't consider any school in FFX to be truly "low SES;" the lower SES FFX schools are to him more "solidly middle class," to use your vernacular. (He did his student and first year of teaching in a much more difficult, much lower SES environment than any school in FFX.) In addition to not having to deal with so many PITA parents, he finds it more rewarding to work with kids who don't have so many life advantages.[/quote]
