[quote=Anonymous][quote]Changing the culture of a school is hard, but not impossible. It probably helped that more affluent parents are coming to our school and the new principal wants to keep them happy. We tend to be outspoken about when things are not going the way we want.[/quote]

Changing the culture of a school is NOT your job as a parent, believe it or not. Are there things you have a right to object to? Absolutely. Bullying. Teasing. Fighting. But this attitude--that more affluent parents need to be "kept happy"--stinks. You need to learn to work with your community, not expect it to cater to you.  There are ways to make a school a happy place... but a lot of them depend upon respecting the educators and administrators that are running your school. What I see at our school are a bunch of parents who seem to think they know more, and need to have their needs met. Their needs--not their kids' needs. What you need to remember is, this is not just about you, or even just about your kid.[/quote]
