[quote=Anonymous][quote] I wouldn’t say Nottingham has the toughest parents, I think this could be said of any of the more affluent schools (which also includes Tuckahoe, Discovery and Jamestown). Each of them has a contingent of parents who are entitled and demanding, with unrealistic expectations of a public school. Each of them also has a lot of really nice, reasonable parents. Focus on the latter rather than the former and you’ll find a good community within the school.[/quote] I've had kids in one of the mentioned schools and in a lower income APS elementary school. There are jerks/tough parents in both. My student's 504 was handled great in both schools. I did notice a huge focus on lobbying for "gifted" in the above mentioned schools by parents, and in fact more than 60% of kids in the school are deemed gifted. How can that be? [/quote]
