[quote=Anonymous]Public schools should not give perks of any kind to families for any reason. Resources should be allocated equally to kids except in cases where they are specifically designated for a specific subset (like offering tutoring for kids with test scores below a certain level, or offering an enrichment for kids who have demonstrated higher aptitude and would therefore benefit). But those aren't perks, those are educational opportunities assigned to kids who qualify for them based on performance.

I think it's weird to see teachers saying "oh yeah I probably favor the kids whose parents I like tho most." Past 1st grade or so, this is not a thing. Most teachers in public schools seek to minimize interaction with parents (perhaps for this specific reason!) and I think are unlikely to form strong opinions either way, unless a kid is difficult in class and contact with the parents becomes a necessity. They aren't hobnobbing with parents to decide whose kids to favor.

Maybe that's a creepy private school behavior but the dynamics are different in public.[/quote]
