[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In private schools, teachers and admin tend to be much more responsive to parent queries. Emails get responses within a few hours, typically.[/quote] My children attend a K-12 independent school and, while we obviously believe it offers them the best education in many ways, I would disagree with this somewhat. In our experience teachers and administrators vary widely in terms of their responsiveness -- both in terms of a prompt reply and, more substantively, in terms of considering the need for change when something isn't working for a particular child -- or even a sizeable group of children. Sometimes you can encounter a teacher or administrator whose attitude is, "Well, if you don't want to send your kid here, there are plenty of people who do." [/quote]
