[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When someone pays 50,000+ per year for their child's education, they are going to have opinions about it.[/quote] It's a mix - when people think because they paid a high price think they deserve to get what they want (it doesn't work that way - you are paying market price - which is high. You are not paying a price to get you more say. You get to choose where to attend but then you need to find a way to work cooperatively with where you chose....or leave) - people with strong opinions and are focused just on their child who fail to see the big picture. part of me thinks it doesn't help that there are so many people who think they are powerful in DC circles that they should have the power to steamroll at private school too. But I have also seen others who are just highly opinionated that have no particular power personally/professionally - but fail to understand that no school is perfect - no school is going to cater to every special need of your particular child/situation (unless you are lucky and found the perfect fit fort that child). Generally, too many people fail to see nuance and lack tack and self-reflection when dealing with a school they pay for.[/quote]
