[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they are but a previous poster suggested being in on curriculum design. These people are professionals with years of experience and Masters and PhDs in their field. I don’t know why moms think they are qualified to help design curriculum. You can certainly share your opinion at any time but you aren’t running the show. Just like you don’t run any other business, retail or whatever. You can voice your thoughts but shouldn’t “be consulted.” [/quote]

I disagree as well. Parents (and students) have been consulted on other decisions in the past, including academic decisions.  True, they don't get to make actual decisions, but their input should be considered to make a thoughtful, and hopefully semi-transparent, decision.  A private school is more than a typical business where people can easily leave if they don't like the service. There are many interested stakeholders and as mentioned in other posts, parents are an important source of fundraising and many often serve on the board.      I do agree that attacking the HoS on this is not fair or appropriate.[/quote]
