[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, no one is out to get your kid. Teachers and administrators are pretty good at assessing who’s at fault. If they get something specific wrong, it’s still probably overall correct. Your kid is definitely more poorly behaved at school than you know. I still believe parents need to back the schools. The only parents I know that don’t are the parents of the kids who can’t follow rules. [/quote]

This is so wrong and false. Teachers and administrators suffer from group mentality and bias just like everyone else. Sometimes kids get labeled mistakenly and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Statistically, Black and Brown children are victims of bias in much greater numbers. Blamed for things they didn’t do and punished much more harshly than their white peers.[/quote]

It is so incredibly false. The rich white kids in private get away with anything. Look at the Landon SAT scandal. I personally know of a group of rich white girls who got caught drinking on campus and since several had parents on the board nothing happened. They are in HS so a suspension would have had to be reported to colleges. Meanwhile a non-white student at the same school was suspended for skipping one class. She was late and didn't sign in. She wasn't actually intentionally skipping and the whole thing was absurd.
Privates are terrible because there's no transparency and the admin can do whatever they want.[/quote]

What is the Landon SAT scandal?[/quote]

Someone digging up something from 25 years ago. Not a Landon fan but when you have to go back decades sigh[/quote]
