[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not feel my school care about my child.  My family is not politically aligned with the school and there is a lack of respect for opposing opinions both among parents and the administration.  These differences can become very evident particularly in the upper grades. Sometimes I wonder if the school is in the business of educating or indoctrinating.[/quote]

That is too bad, because imho a fine mind is capable of finding commonality where view points or political perspectives may be different. Education should probe and produce some  discourse. I heard that at STA they have a debate club in which students debate from a liberal and others from a conservative view point. Perhaps the kids don't choose, but are assigned a political perspective and have to rotate. Not completely sure, but you get the idea. Agree on your concerns for indoctrination , especially because that is so EASY to do with teens; a fact military dictators the world over take advantage of. You should not be paying 30K a year and end of with a narrower mind than you sent in.[/quote]
