[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My solution is for parents to calm down. Don't be afraid of immigrant kids. Send them to a lower rated FFX school. Stop posting the SAT averages of every high school, and stop caring about it. 
Stop comparing how many AP's your kid is taking. 
Find out what your kid is doing online. All of it. Do you know what the kids are using now? Here's a hint- it's not Facebook. Learn that stuff and keep up.
Get them the f*ck off snap chat.
You worried about your kid's "peer group" and their achievements? How about being concerned that they are hanging out with kind kids. Kids that are nerds. Kind nerds.
Don't make them drop music, so they can shove in another STEM class. Let them have some joy. 
Let them know that they could persue a trade if they don't seem to be the college type. That's ok! That's really ok.
If you do get a teacher who needs an ego check- take it to admin and pull your kid. That shouldn't be happening every year. If it is, it's probably you, not the teacher. 
Because this isn't about teachers.
It's about parents.
It starts at home.
It always starts at home. 
We are to blame.

Lower rated FFX schools have bullying issues too.  For example, some immigrant communities are homophobic, so boys viewed as gay are bullied.  There also tends to be a higher incidence of physical altercations.  I don't think that's a healthy choice either.  A lot of people don't care about the test scores or "lack of academic peers" at lower rated FFX schools, but are concerned about the negative social aspects.[/quote]
