[quote=Anonymous]The post about crazy parents driving out the good people isn’t Sidwell specific at all. Sidwell actually keeps its parent community at arms length. I work in another private that gets mentioned here a lot and our admin doesn’t impose as much “discipline”—parents can basically command teachers to do things and then complain if we don’t jump high enough. There’s a very high burnout rate, and it's the teachers with choices (ie. a working spouse, independently wealthy, other job offers etc.) who leave. We are professionals who act in the best interest of the students, so when parents second-guess our methods/philosophy/grading etc., the heads of school/asst heads need to back us up. Sure, there will be exceptions, but they should be jut that —exceptions. [/quote]
