[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTSN was in person for freshman parents. It was good to be able to walk the space and meet the teachers. Perhaps parents should voice concerns about the other grades having theirs virtual to see if there’s an appetite to change.[/quote]

Parents have complained for years and yet this year was still Zoom. Other private schools have a separate Back to school nights for Freshman. Sophomores Juniors and Seniors parents would like to see the space and meet their kids teachers too. Public schools pull it off with thousands of kids.  SJC can too.  [/quote]

Speak for yourself. I vastly prefer zoom after the freshman year.[/quote]

I think a Zoom back to school night four years post Covid is lazy and shows a lack of respect to the parents and doesn’t build any sense of community.  It says a lot about how much the admin values parental input. Even public schools have pulled off in person Back to school nights.  For some parents it might be the only time they ever come to the school. I also want to meet in person at least once the people who teach my kids all year long and see their classroom.  If you don’t want to go because you have other things to do, I’m sure the teacher can email you their resume and syllabus.

Seriously? At what point do you think your kid might be responsible for these type of issues. I get freshman year to learn more about the school, etc. But, after that, what are you going to learn from a BTSN for kid in High school. Go over a syllabus? Do you need to go to BTSN to get that? High school is about learning to grow up and not have your parents around to watch over you every minute of the day. If you respond that your kid isn't responsible and you need to be constant vigilent, than that is a you problem because you have failed to set expectations for your children (and reprecusions when they haven't.) A BTSN isn't going to solve that problem.[/quote]

Really?  Wanting to to actually meet your kids teachers in person for one night out if how many in a school year is being over vigilant and failing to let my kid grow up?  Lol tell that to the public school parents who had in person back to school nights.

For the hands off parents like you, just stay home then. Let your kid run his own life at the ripe age of 14-17. I’m sure your kids are perfect and already know everything. But for parents who are interested in the people teaching their kids who are influencing them every single day deserve a chance to see them in person.  I am surprised you don’t expect more from a school where you actually PAY TUITION.
