[quote=Anonymous]I have noticed, in dealing with certain PG County public schools (the lower-ranked ones) that when you call or email a teacher, or even the principal, you likely won't hear back from them. If you do, the tone is often defensive, even if the questions or concerns were posed politely.

But let your child "break a rule" or do something behavioral in nature (I am talking non-violent, non-physical, nothing illegal or disruptive), and here come the phone calls with an attitude from the caller.

I don't excuse my children from following the rules. But I feel like staff in these schools are more concerned with following rules than ensuring my children are well-educated. Or perhaps the problem is that staff at the lower ranked schools have fewer classroom management skills?

Any thoughts? I cannot afford private, and I am trying to get my kids through a couple of lower ranked public schools. The principals seem fine, but they hire and support some questionable teachers. For every good teacher, there is at least one mediocre and one bad teacher. [/quote]
