[quote=Anonymous]The Lafayette parent community has a loud, obnoxious minority of parents that are just plain toxic. They are smug, upper middle class professionals who want a sweet, elementary school experience like they had in the 1970s and are so oblivious that they don't have any understanding of how education has advanced since then. I distinctly remember the strong pushback when Dr. Broquard instituted a system of assessing reading levels in the early grades and parents insisted that this was too much testing - they believed that their privileged kids could read why should anyone be tested to identify kids who are falling behind? It was so unbelievably self-absorbed and selfish - and stupid because I'm sure some of those kids had undiagnosed gaps in their skills. As a parent whose child was moving from another school which had already modernized its approach to education, it was shocking how behind the times the place was when Dr. B started. [/quote]
